Bacterial resistance to antibiotic treatment has concerned the medical community since the introduction of the first antibiotics in the 1920s. Development of new anti-infective agents has been precipitated by increasing resistance to older agents and classes of agents. While high rates of resistant organisms have been particularly problematic in hospital intensive care units, serious resistance now is being encountered in community-acquired infections. This review will focus on the clinical aspects of antibiotic resistance in community-acquired respiratory infections, pharyngitis, skin infections, and urinary tract infections.
