Let’s Talk About Resistance
Three main types– Chromosome mediated
Spontaneous mutations Non-major form of drug resistance Rarely lead to complete resistance
– Plasmid mediated (conjugation) VERY important from clinical standpoint Mostly gram negs Mediate resistance to multiple drugs High transfer rate from cell to cell
– Transposon (transduction and transformation) Phage mediated Clinically important for Gram +
Antibiotic ChoicesAntibiotic Choices
