Abstract: | Antibiotic resistance presents a daunting challenge to health professionals world‐wide and has the potential to create major problems for modern healthcare, resulting in more medical expenditure, extended hospital stays and increased morbidity and mortality. Advanced genome sequencing technologies present a complex picture of resistance, extending our understanding beyond the pharmacotherapeutic interface between pathogens and antibiotics. This review discusses the global scope and scale of antibiotic resistance and contextualises it for the dental practitioner, emphasising the role we must play in limiting the progression of resistance through antibiotic stewardship and disease prevention. |
