Abstract
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria continue to spread across the globe—directly affecting human and animal patients while also establishing reservoirs from which those strains continue to emerge long into the future, according to several researchers who spoke during the 2015 ICAAC conference held in San Diego last September. Their findings paint a broader and, in some ways, more alarming picture of the expanding influence and dynamic nature of antibiotic resistance than experts previously drew.
