TL;DR: The global situation of antibiotic resistance, its major causes and consequences, and key areas in which action is urgently needed are described and identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial resistance: a global multifaceted phenomenon.
TL;DR: This review focuses on antibacterial resistance (ABR), which represents at the moment the major problem, both for the high rates of resistance observed in bacteria that cause common infections and for the complexity of the consequences of ABR.
Resistance in the Environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of subinhibitory concentrations of antibiotics and disinfectants on environmental bacteria, especially with respect to resistance, are investigated and the impact on the frequency of resistance transfer by antibacterials present in the environment is questionable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic-Resistance Genes in Waste Water.
TL;DR: Some of the main methods for studying antibiotic resistance in waste waters and the latest research and main knowledge gaps on the issue are described and some future research directions are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the influence of treatment strategies on antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes
TL;DR: This review begins with an introduction to the occurrence of ARB and ARG in different environmental systems such as natural environments and drinking water resources, and the mechanism of the effects of different disinfection processes in water and wastewater.

Antibiotic susceptibility testing by a standardized single disk method.
TL;DR: Recommendations of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards continue to be based on this publication; the “Kirby-Bauer” method is, among the many disk methods used in other countries, still the one that has been researched most thoroughly and updated continuously.
Book
Brock Biology of Microorganisms
TL;DR: A six-part presentation covers principles of microbiology; evolutionary microbiology and microbial diversity; metabolic diversity and microbial ecology; immunology, pathogenicity, and host responses; microbial diseases; andmicroorganisms as tools for industry and research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations
TL;DR: Standardized methods for determining minimum inhibitory concentrations and MBCs are described and like all standardized procedures, the method must be adhered to and may not be adapted by the user.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotics in the aquatic environment - A review - Part II
TL;DR: This review brings up important questions that are still open, and addresses some significant issues which must be tackled in the future for a better understanding of the behavior of antibiotics in the environment, as well as the risks associated with their occurrence.
