| During this thematic week, the different resistance mechanisms developed by bacteria against the different classes of clinically used antibiotics will be reviewed. A particular focus will be made on bacterial resistance towards aminoglycosides and inactivators of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the bacterial cell wall. The different mechanisms of propagation of the resistance genes will be discussed and their potential biological cost analysed. The methods designed for the rapid detection of resistance mechanisms will be presented. Finally, the techniques recently developed for the design or high throughput screening of new antibiotics will be discussed. | ||||||||
