Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria has diminished the availability o f effective antimicrobial agents. Knowledge of epidemiology, mechanism s of resistance, and new diagnostic modalities can help to identify an d treat patients at risk for infection by these organisms. Limited or nonexistent effective microbial therapy underscores the importance of effective preventive and containment measures.
