Abstract

• Since the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s, antibiotic resistance has become an increasing problem. • Today, multiple‐antibiotic resistance is commonly associated with a number of clinically important pathogens and is therefore an important issue in clinical nursing practice. • Epidemiological studies identify a number of important factors associated with increases in antimicrobial resistance. These include patterns of antimicrobial use, changes in medical and veterinary care and social practices affecting the transmission of microbes. • Bacterial mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and the genetics of resistance‐gene transfer are explored, with the intention of developing nurses' knowledge and understanding of control measures.
