drug resistance of microorganisms

  • 1 лекарственная устойчивость микроорганизмов

    [греч. mikrosмаленький и лат. organismus — живое тело, живое существо]
    способность микроорганизмов сохранять жизнедеятельность, включая размножение, несмотря на присутствие в окружающей среде лекарственных химиопрепаратов. Л.у.м. (резистентность) отличается от толерантности микроорганизмов (см. толерантность (3)), при которой микробные клетки не гибнут в присутствии химиопрепаратов из-за уменьшенного количества аутолитических ферментов, но и не размножаются. Л.у.м. — широко распространенное явление, препятствующее лечению инфекционных болезней; наиболее изучена лекарственная устойчивость бактерий (напр., устойчивость к антибиотикам). Л.у.м. может возникать в результате способности микроорганизмов инактивировать лекарственные вещества или за счет изменения биологических мишеней, на которые действуют лекарства, вследствие мутаций в геноме.
