8.2 Molecular Mechanisms of Antibiotic Resistance

Some bacteria have intrinsic resistance mechanisms for antibiotics due to composition of the cytoplasmic membrane (Nikaido 2003) while others can acquire or develop resistance to antibiotics (Blair et al. 2015). This resistance is generally mediated by one or more of the several mechanisms (Wright 2011), which can be categorized in to five groups. Diagrammatic representation of all above mentioned mechanisms is depicted in Fig. 8.1.(a)Reduced permeability
