Acquired microbial antibiotic resistance to vancomycin is a growing problem, particularly within health care facilities such as hospitals.
Besides, taking antibiotics unnecessarily can contribute to the growing problem of microbial resistance.
These do their work and disappear, leaving no residue to foster microbial resistance.
Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) have gained a lot of attention because they are much less susceptible to development of microbial resistance.
For each of these livestock species the subtherapeutic use is substantially higher: this contributes unnecessarily to possible microbial resistance.
It is likely involved in maintaining cellular redox balance and plays a role in microbial resistance to the antibiotic fosfomycin.
However it is too early to say that triclosan exposure never leads to microbial resistance, as there is not yet enough information to make a full risk analysis.
Both physical and chemical approaches need to address the problem of induced microbial resistance, and to explore new avenues of achieving a stable resolution.
The use of antibiotics is very unwise in any foods because of the danger of microbial resistance and allergenic reactions.
The World Health Organisation devoted a WHO day to microbial resistance.
