THE NATIONAL ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE MONITORING SYSTEM (NARMS)

摘要

Bacterial antimicrobial resistance in both the medical and agricultural fields has become a serious problem worldwide. Antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria are an increasing threat to animal and human health, with resistance mechanisms having beendescribed for all known antimicrobials currently available for clinical use. Although much scientific information is available on this subject, many ecological aspects of the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance remain uncertain. What is known is that the emergence and dissemination of bacterial antimicrobial resistance is the result of numerous complex interactions among antimicrobials, microorganisms, and the surrounding environments.
