viruses, parasites and adapted to them, which makes drugs less


effective. Some bacteria can develop resistance to one antimicrobial agent


(or the related class of agents), while others develop resistance


several antimicrobial agents or classes. These organisms


often called multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO). In some cases
