ResumoAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a critical obstacle to public health worldwide, due to the high incidence of strains resistant to available antibiotic therapies. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the prevalence of resistant epidemic strains, associated with this, public health authorities have been alarmed about a possible scenario of uncontrolled dissemination of these microorganisms and the difficulty in interrupting their transmission, as nosocomial pathogens with resistance profiles previously considered sporadic. They become frequent bacteria in the community. In addition, therapy for infections caused by these pathogens is based on broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy, which favors an increase in the tolerance of remaining bacterial cells and is commonly associated with a poor prognosis. In this review, we present the current status of epidemic strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), MDR Mycobacterium tuberculosis, extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL), Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC), and-New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NDM).
