Biocidal Agents Used for Disinfection Can Enhance Antibiotic Resistance in Gram-Negative Species
Biocidal agents used for disinfection are usually not suspected to enhance cross-resistance to antibiotics. The aim of this review was therefore to evaluate the effect of 13 biocidal agents at sublethal concentrations on antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative species. A medline search was performed...
