Which Infections Are Most Affected by Drug Resistance?
Several gynecological infections are heavily impacted by drug resistance. These include:
1. Bacterial Vaginosis: Often caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora, it can become resistant to metronidazole or clindamycin. 2. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Frequently caused by E. coli, which can develop resistance to antibiotics like ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. 3. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium have shown increasing resistance to antibiotics, making them harder to treat effectively.
