Microbial Drug Resistance : Mdr : Mechanisms, Epidemiology, and Disease
Overview
Microbial Drug Resistance (MDR) is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the mechanisms, epidemiology, and disease associated with drug resistance in microorganisms. It covers a wide range of topics including the molecular basis of resistance, emerging resistance patterns, and the impact of drug resistance on public health. The journal provides valuable insights into the challenges posed by MDR and offers potential strategies for combating this global threat.
