Antimicrobial resistance refers to the resistance of a microbial organism to a drug or an agent that was previously effective in eliminating the organism or checking its growth and multiplication. Drug resistant strains generally evolve over a period of time in nature.
Some infections become completely untreatable due to resistance. All classes of microbes develop resistance: fungi â antifungal resistance, viruses â antiviral resistance, protozoans â antiprotozoal resistance, and bacteria â antibiotic resistance.Microbes which are resistant to multiple antimicrobials are termed multidrug resistant (MDR) (or, sometimes in the lay press, superbugs).ome infections become completely untreatable due to resistance. All classes of microbes develop resistance: fungi â antifungal resistance, viruses â antiviral resistance, protozoans â antiprotozoal resistance, and bacteria â antibiotic resistance.
