MECHANISMS OF RESISTANCE
Resistance to antimicrobial agents typically occurs by one or more of
the following mechanisms:

• Alteration of the target
• Reduced cellular uptake
• Increased efflux
In this chapter, resistance will be examined by agent, but attention
will be drawn to mechanisms which can permit resistance to multiple, chemically
different agents.
