The 154 pages that link to Antimicrobial resistance, each with the reason it gives.
Public healthRelated: It exposes the population costs of antibiotic use and the need for coordinated stewardship.
One HealthRelated: Drug use in people, animals, and agriculture can jointly drive resistance.
SepsisRelated: Resistance can narrow effective treatment choices for infections that lead to sepsis.
AntibioticNarrower topic: Bacterial resistance can make infections harder to treat after antibiotic exposure selects resistant variants.
BiofilmCompared with: Biofilm tolerance can resemble resistance, but does not necessarily involve inherited drug resistance.
Sexually transmitted infectionRelated: Resistance in pathogens such as gonorrhea can make treatment less reliable.
Evolutionary biologyBroader topic: Drug use selects resistant variants, making evolution observable on short timescales.
Antimicrobial stewardshipRelated: Preserving drug effectiveness requires reducing avoidable selection for resistance.
Medication adherenceRelated: Incorrect antimicrobial use can contribute to resistance, though resistance has multiple causes.
PathogenRelated: Resistance can make infections caused by particular pathogens harder to treat.
MetagenomicsRelated: Metagenomics can survey resistance genes across cultured and uncultured microbes.
PlasmidNarrower topic: Plasmids help spread resistance across bacterial populations and species.
Antibiotic stewardshipNarrower topic: Avoiding unnecessary antibiotic exposure helps slow the selection and spread of resistance.
Insecticide resistanceCompared with: It shares the selection-based pattern but involves microbes and antimicrobial drugs.
AntisepticRelated: Reduced susceptibility can limit the effectiveness of some antiseptic agents and practices.
Beta-lactamaseNarrower topic: Beta-lactamases are one biochemical route by which bacteria resist antimicrobial drugs.
Penicillin-binding proteinsNarrower topic: Changes in penicillin-binding proteins are one route bacteria use to resist antibiotics.
Infectious diseaseCompared with: Resistance makes some infectious diseases harder to treat with standard drugs.
Lactic acid bacteriaRelated: Resistance traits in food-associated strains matter when evaluating starter cultures and probiotic candidates.
Poultry farmingRelated: Antimicrobial use in poultry production is one concern in managing resistance risks.
Domestic chickenRelated: Antimicrobial use in poultry production is one concern in wider efforts to limit resistance.
AmoxicillinRelated: Unnecessary or inappropriate amoxicillin exposure can select for resistant bacteria.
Infection prevention and controlRelated: Preventing resistant infections reduces both transmission and reliance on antimicrobial treatment.
DoxycyclineNarrower topic: Unnecessary doxycycline use contributes selection pressure for resistant bacteria.
Healthcare-associated infectionRelated: Healthcare transmission can spread resistant organisms, while infections often require antimicrobial treatment.
LivestockRelated: Antimicrobial use in animal production can contribute to resistance risks.
Medicinal chemistryRelated: Resistance can undermine existing compounds and shape the design of new antimicrobials.
Pharmaceutical industryRelated: Antibiotic markets and development incentives influence the supply of new treatments.
Surgical site infectionRelated: Resistance narrows treatment options for infections caused by resistant organisms.
SyphilisRelated: Resistance to azithromycin has limited that alternative syphilis treatment.
Beef cattleRelated: Antimicrobial use in livestock can contribute to selection pressures relevant to resistance.
Hand hygieneCompared with: Routine hand hygiene chiefly removes or inactivates microbes and is distinct from treating resistance with antibiotics.
Host–pathogen interactionRelated: Resistance changes which treatments can control pathogen populations in hosts.
Paul EhrlichCompared with: Resistance limits the lasting effectiveness of the selective antimicrobial agents Ehrlich helped pioneer.
Antibiotic therapyRelated: Antibiotic exposure selects for resistant bacteria, making future treatment harder.
HospitalRelated: Hospital antibiotic use and transmission can accelerate resistant infections.
Antibiotic-associated diarrheaNarrower topic: Unnecessary antibiotic treatment can worsen resistance while exposing patients to diarrhea risk.
Drug toleranceCompared with: It is often called tolerance informally, but the adaptation occurs in microbes, not the treated person.
Global healthRelated: Resistance spreads across borders and requires coordinated surveillance and responsible medicine use.
PoultryRelated: Antimicrobial use in poultry production can contribute to resistance concerns.
Beta-lactam ringNarrower topic: Resistance limits the effectiveness of antibiotics built around this ring.
ChlorhexidineRelated: Reduced susceptibility to chlorhexidine has been reported, prompting scrutiny of widespread use.
SulfonamideNarrower topic: Sulfonamide resistance is one specific instance of this broader clinical problem.
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiationCompared with: UV acts physically rather than through antibiotics, though microbial susceptibility and repair still matter.
Yersinia pestisRelated: Rare drug-resistant Yersinia pestis strains make susceptibility monitoring clinically relevant.
ManureRelated: Manure can carry resistant microbes and antimicrobial resistance genes from treated livestock into the environment.
PreservativeRelated: Preservative exposure can raise concerns about microbial adaptation, especially in repeated-use products.
TrimethoprimNarrower topic: Rising resistance among pathogens can reduce the reliability of trimethoprim treatment.
AntimicrobialRelated: Microbial defenses can blunt the mechanisms that make an antimicrobial effective.
BacteriologyRelated: Bacterial evolution makes resistance a major consequence of antimicrobial use.
