The road ahead for antimicrobial resistance
By Roche Molecular Diagnostics
The fight against antimicrobial resistance is reaching a new pitch, as researchers around the world struggle to find ways to rapidly diagnose infection and isolate bacteria that have long been treated with conventional antibiotics. Roche Molecular Diagnostics is among those committed to the fight. Practical Patient Care talks to Professor David Livermore of the University of East Anglia and Dr Rafael Canton of the Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal in Madrid about the scale of the problem, and how recent breakthroughs may yet turn the course of the war.
