#1 Kristen Bautz on 28 Oct 09Let me know what you think: "We chose the article "Antibiotic resistance: how it arises, the current position and future strategies" as our review article. The review, prepared by two nurses at University Hospitals Bristol Foundation Trust, describes the specific steps by which bacteria are able to resist antibiotics. The authors then further differentiate between the resistance of antibiotics carried out by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Finally, the authors cite developments in the fight against antibiotic resistance, most notably, how antibiotics will have to be modified. This article will be useful in preparing our NPR-like blurb because, although the article is intended for those directly involved in the medical community, it will provide our group with a biological background as to why the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance occurs, on a molecular level. The language is simple enough for our purposes, and the information is essential for understanding why some bacteria resist antibiotics."
