Introduction to Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have killed more than a million people worldwide in a single year. This indicates that these superbugs have become a major infectious disease. The main superbugs that we have studied and known more about so far include carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, MRSA, and Clostridium difficile. CRE is usually found in our stomach, but some of these bacteria cause bloodstream infections and are resistant to all antibiotics. Acinetobacter baumannii becomes resistant to antibiotics more quickly than other bacteria. Neisseria gonorrhoeae causes the STD gonorrhea, which in the past was easily treated with antibiotics. However, it is now becoming more resistant to antibiotics.

In addition to the few resistant bacteria already described above, there are still many bacteria that have gradually become resistant to certain antibiotics. Therefore, basic research on these known or unknown resistant bacteria is particularly important.
