"The Global Challenge of Colistin Resistance – Recent Evidence from Romania and Elsewhere"

Abstract

The Global Challenge of Colistin Resistance – Recent Evidence from Romania and Elsewhere. Biomed J Sci & Tech Res The increasing resistance of Gram-negative bacilli to a wide range of antibiotics has driven a return to colistin as the last resort in the treatment of severe infections. Given the stakes of colistin efficiency at both the individual level and generally, the manifestation and mechanisms of resistance to polymyxin E (also known as colistin) are now subject to careful monitoring and research. Recent findings from different parts of the world including Romania are reviewed and discussed in the light of ensuing challenges.
