Hospitals are hotspots for antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) and play a major role in
both their emergence and spread. Large numbers of these ARB will be ejected from …

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were first described in the 1940s, but whereas new antibiotics
were being discovered at a steady rate, the consequences of this phenomenon were slow to …

Background. The determinants of the spread of extended-spectrum β-lactamase–producing
