The emergence of mysterious new diseases, such as SARS, and the looming threat of bioterrorist attacks remind us of how vulnerable we can be to infectious agents. With advances in medical technologies, we have tamed many former microbial foes, yet with few new antimicrobial agents and vaccines in the pipeline, and rapidly increasing drug resistance among infectious microbes, we teeter on the brink of loosing the upperhand in our ongoing struggle against these foes, old and new. The Resistance Phenomenon in Microbes and Infectious Disease Vectors examines our understanding of the relationships among microbes, disease vectors, and human hosts, and explores possible new strategies for meeting the challenge of resistance.Drug resistance in microorganismsCongressesMicrobiologyDrug resistance in microorganismsMicrobiology.616/.01Knobler Stacey1804165Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Forum on Emerging Infections.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957298503321The Resistance phenomenon in microbes and infectious disease vectors4358444UNINA
