www.who.intdrug resistant organisms in health-care settings INTRODUCTION Infections by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are increasing worldwide (1). Prevention of spread and control of MDROs in health-care settings are critical and urgent as the number of antibiotics available to treat these infections is extremely limited and
Impacts of Genetically-Modified Crops and Seeds on Farmers
pennstatelaw.psu.eduDevelopment of resistant weeds and insects Farmers may worry that their use of GM seeds will create "superweeds" or "superbugs" that, over time, become resistant to GM seeds and crops and to other herbicides and pesticides. There is some research that suggests that weeds and bugs could possibly evolve into resistant organisms. Gene

www.cdc.govSome types of multidrug-resistant (MDR) P. aeruginosa. are resistant to nearly all antibiotics, including carbapenems. Two to 3% of carbapenem-resistant . P. aeruginosa. carry a mobile genetic element that makes a carbapenemase enzyme. This enzyme makes carbapenem antibiotics ineffective. Mobile genetic elements are easily shared
