These days, it is quite common to hear about drug-resistant bacteria, or “superbugs,” as they have been labeled by the press. Although “superbug” can refer to an organism that is resistant to only one antimicrobial agent, the term usually refers to multidrug resistant organisms (i.e., organisms that are resistant to more than one antimicrobial agent). Infections caused by superbugs are much more difficult to treat. It is important to note that bacteria are not the only microbes that have developed resistance to drugs. Certain viruses (including HIV, herpes simplex viruses, and influenza viruses), fungi (both yeasts and moulds), parasitic protozoa, and helminths have also developed resistance to drugs. Parasitic protozoa that have become drug-resistant include strains of P. falciparum, Trichomonas vaginalis, Leishmania spp., and Giardia lamblia.(1 Point)TrueFalse
