Abstract
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria has emerged as a global challenge over the past 90 years, compromising our ability to effectively treat infections. There has been a dramatic increase in antibiotic resistance-associated determinants in bacterial populations, driven by the mobility and infectious nature of such determinants. Bacterial genome flexibility and antibiotic-driven selection are at the root of the problem. Genome evolution and the emergence of highly successful multidrug-resistant clades in different pathogens have made this a global challenge. Here, we describe some of the factors driving the origin, evolution, and spread of the antibiotic resistance genotype.
