The purpose of this short book to challenge readers, including specialists registrars in medical microbiology and infectious diseases and medical science, to bring the most likely mechanism (s) b-lactam resistance of gram-negative bacteria by means of logical analysis of phenotypic microbiological results and consider further appropriate laboratory studies. Questions are selected from the authors own experience and includes several that have been published in peer-reviewed journals covering a wide range of b-lactam resistance mechanisms found in currently in clinical microbiological practice. Background information and notes on laboratory studies conducted, we hope to be a useful addition to lectures, literature reviews and textbooks. Laboratory analysis conducted in some cases beyond, which are usually performed in diagnostic practice, but also contributes to a more complete understanding of the cases presented. This Q & A style book is intended to encourage systematic and logical approach to understanding and defining rapidly evolving mechanisms to-lactam resistance of gram-negative bacteria usually isolated in diagnostic laboratories. I ask the reader to think about each question and record the best answer before reading the explanatory chapter. I hope that these efforts will help you understand the topic, which is crucial for antimicrobial therapy and infection control. About the author and editor Dr. Brendan Crowley MA MD DTM FRCPath FFPath (RCPI) is a consultant microbiologist with special interest in virology. He is editor of the journal Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. His key interests include mechanisms to-lactam resistance in gram-negative bacteria, as well as molecular epidemiology and molecular diagnosis of viral infections in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Dr. Neil Woodford's degree candidate FRCPath is Consultant Clinical science and worked on resistance to antimicrobial agents for over 25 years. He served for 10 years as editor of the journal Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, and as amended by microbial drug resistance. His key interests include mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of bacterial pathogens, especially those related to infections and molecular diagnostics for rapid detection of resistance
