Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing problem. There are now microorganisms resistant to all available treatment options [1–8]. Important antimicrobial resistance problems in Gram-positive bacteria include penicillin resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae, vancomycin and multiple drug resistance in enterococci, and methicillin resistance, and reduced susceptibility of staphylococci to the glycopeptides. In Gram-negative bacteria extended spectrum beta-lactamases and inducible beta-lactamases, particularly in Enterobacter, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species, have been of greatest concern. |
