The irony of this trend toward progressively more resistant bacteria is that it coincides with a period of increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Unfortunately, while this insight has resulted in the identification of novel drug targets, it has not yet resulted in effective new chemotherapeutic agents.
