Definición
- Drug resistance refers to the ability of a microorganism, such as a bacterium, virus, fungus, or parasite, to resist an antimicrobial medicine that had previously been effective against it. Drug resistance develops as a result of the use of antimicrobials and can be accelerated by the improper use of antimicrobials, such as failing to complete a prescribed course of treatment or the use of antimicrobials against diseases for which they are known to be ineffective (for example, using antibiotics to treat a virus).
