Antibiotics are critical weapons that were used for combating human pathogens. However, the heavy use of antibiotics leads to the increased and widely spread of antimicrobial resistance. The antimicrobial resistance is not only a medical problem, but also social and economic concerns, involving public health, environmental pollution, food safety, etc. This special issue reviewed and discussed the recent progress on antimicrobial resistance regarding the fields of clinical drug resistance and epidemiology, animal and environmental drug resistance, drug resistance mechanisms, antimicrobial drug development and drug resistance prevention and control, hoping to give a comprehensive view on basic antimicrobial resistance questions, future research directions and prevention and control strategies.%抗生素是人类对抗病原微生物感染的重要"武器".然而,抗生素的大规模使用导致细菌耐药性不断增强并广泛传播.细菌耐药不仅是医学问题,同时也是社会和经济问题,涉及公共卫生、环境污染、食品安全等诸多领域.本专刊从临床耐药与流行病学、动物及环境耐药、细菌耐药机制、抗菌药物研发和耐药防控策略等角度对细菌耐药性问题进行了较系统的综述和探讨,为全面认识细菌耐药现状、深入开展耐药机制研究并制定综合防控策略等提供参考.
