Drug Resistance and Its Prevention | Animals |Pharmacology

Drug resistance limits the therapeutic uses of antibacterial agents in animals and man.

Drug resistance is also observed with protozoa, helminthic parasites and malignant cells. Resistance in bacteria spreads from animals to animals or from bacterium to bacterium by plasmids and from [...]
