Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance of bacteria is a worldwide and ever-growing problem, directly linked to the use of antimicrobial drugs. Resistant bacteria emerge under the selective pressure of antibiotics. In hospitals, where large-scale usage of antibiotics is common, bacteria frequently become resistant to several antibiotics which causes serious problems for the treatment of patients with infections by these microorganisms. Well-known (multi)-resistant bacteria causing problems in many countries all over the world are methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant enterococci, penicillin-resistant pneumococci, extended-spectrum betalactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and multiresistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
