From the foregoing, it seems likely that apart from a small number of specialist medical applications, the efficacy of surface coated devices may be compromised by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, together with the barrier effect provided by conditioning films that will rapidly coat biomaterials in situ.43...

The dramatic increase of severe or lethal infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria triggered numerous studies on antibiotic resistance, not only from clinical but also from environmental sources. Nowadays it is clear that environment, and water in particular, plays a central role on antibiotic resistance dispersion to and from clinical settings. However, the current state of the art clearly suggests that only a small fraction of the environmental resistome is known. The modes and mechanisms of emergence, evolution and transmission of resistance determinants are still not very well understood. Although environmental pollution is recognized to play an important role on antibiotic resistance evolution and spreading, it is still very difficult to draw cause-effect relationships, which sometimes seems to be strain/species dependent.

These two herds have provided information on development, persistency and transfer of antibacterial resistance and. furthermore, they have provided information regarding the impact the previously proposed restrictions (Fed. Reg. 42 43770 and 42 52645. 1977) of antibiotic usage would have on antibiotic resistant bacteria of animal origin as a health hazard to humans.

The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has created a pressing demand for new antibacterial agents with novel mechanisms of action. Af-Formylhydroxylamines, also known as reverse- or retro-hydroxamates, are one of the few novel targets that are currently being pursued against a variety of metalloenzyme targets, including carboxy... 

The use of disinfectants such as triclosan and quaternary ammonium compounds and triclosan in homes and hospitals also leads to an enhanced selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria (Russell, 2000 Kiicken et al., 2000 McMurray et al., 1998). Besides introducing resistance to bacteria, some antibiotics can also impose other effects. For example, a recent study by Vehcer et al. (2004) reported an intriguing association between cumulative exposure to all classes of antibiotics and breast cancer. Floroquinolones have also been imphcated in inducing tensions in the cartilage of immature animals (Hunt et al., 2002) and are generally deemed unsuitable for pediatric use. However, their presence in the environment can inadvertently introduce them to such susceptible individuals.
