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. 606 $aDrug resistance in microorganisms$vCongresses 606 $aMicrobiology 615 0$aDrug resistance in microorganisms 615 0$aMicrobiology. 676 $a616/.01 701 $aKnobler$b Stacey$01804165 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bForum on Emerging Infections. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957298503321 996 $aThe Resistance phenomenon in microbes and infectious disease vectors$94358444 997 $aUNINA
