Abstract: Antimicrobial therapy is one of the most important medical developments of the 20th century; however, the spread of drug resistance in health care settings and in the community threatens the enormous benefits that antibiotic therapy offers. Infections caused by resistant bacteria cause more than two times the rate of adverse events compared with similar infections caused by susceptible strains. These adverse events may be clinical or economic and primarily reflect failure or delay in antibiotic therapy. The magnitude of these side effects becomes more pronounced as disease severity, strain virulence, or host susceptibility increases. The negative effects of antibiotic resistance can be measured at the patient level by increasing morbidity and mortality, at the healthcare level by increasing resource use, higher costs and reduce hospital performance, and at the societal level by broader empiric antibiotic treatment guidelines. treatments. therapy. In this review, we will discuss the negative impact of antibiotic resistance on patients, health care systems, and society.
