0 a type of bacteria (= very small living things that cause disease) that is very difficult to destroy -- стойкие к лекарствам микробы, вызывающие опасные заболевания
Even if short term resistance does not develop, many believe that a larger issue is that superbugs will evolve against which no bactericide can be used.
Certain antibiotic classes are highly associated with colonisation with superbugs compared to other antibiotic classes.
However, the rise of superbugs that are resistant to conventional antibiotics increases the risk that ear infections will worsen into mastoiditis.
Lack of ward cleanliness is not the prime cause of hospital-acquired infections or superbugs.
We are already becoming aware that the over-use of antibiotics in farming generally and in medicine is leading to the arrival of superbugs.
But now we are experiencing drug-resistant strains of infection, which means that the superbugs are winning.
Herbicide-resistant genes that are transferred into crops, and which seem to be positive and advantageous, could also produce superweeds or superbugs if they spread.
