Abstract

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a problem that arose simultaneously with the beginning of their use and on a global level represents one of the biggest threats to public health. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the emphasis of the medical and pharmaceutical public is on Gram-negative bacteria, especially enterobacteria, which show resistance to most, and some to all, available antibiotics. Treatment of infections caused by multiresistant bacteria is a big challenge for clinicians. Although bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a global problem, resistance rates vary significantly from country to country, and when it comes to hospital pathogens, from institution to institution. Monitoring antibiotic resistance in one’s own environment is one of the first steps in the prevention and control of infections caused by multiresistant bacteria.
