The Mechanics of Antimicrobial Resistance
... From a microbiological point of view, resistance is defined as a state in which an isolate has a resistance mechanism rendering it less susceptible than other members of the same species lacking any resistance mechanism. This definition is valid irrespective of the level of resistance (i.e. low or h ...
