The focus on resistance in learning about antibiotics will help future scientists recognize the problem antibiotics resistance poses for medicinal and drug-related fields, and perhaps trigger more research and discoveries to fight antibiotic resistant strains. Current overviews of the topic are included, along with specific discussions on the individual mechanisms (betalactams, glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, etc) used in varAntibioticsDrug resistance in microorganismsAntibiotics.Drug resistance in microorganisms.615/.329Skl̲d Ola1693898MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824861203321Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance4072051UNINA
