Knobler S.L. et al. (eds.) The Resistance Phenomenon in Microbes and Infectious Disease Vectors

National Academies Press, 2003. — 334 p.
Through invited presentations and participant discussion, the February 6–7, 2002, Forum (Institute of Medicine Forum on Emerging Infections) workshop explored the causes and consequences of the resistance phenomenon. The Forum discussion also examined the scientific evidence supporting current and potential strategies for containment of resistance in microbes, vectors, and animal and human hosts. Additionally, the methods and measures of a response for industry, federal regulation, domestic and international public health, federal and academic research, and the private health care sector were debated.
