New resistance mechanisms have been described in different bacterial pathogens, threatening the effective treatment of even common infectious diseases. The problem worsens in infections associated with biofilms because, in addition to the pathogen’s multiresistance, the biofilm provides a barrier that prevents antimicrobial access.
