Abstract
Artemisinin-resistant malaria, seen along the border between Thailand and Cambodia, is “very worrying” and, if it spreads, could lead to a “disaster,” says Arjen Dondorp of the Mahidol-Oxford Research Unit in Bangkok, Thailand. Similarly, widespread resistance to carbapenems among gram-negative bacterial pathogens is a “hydra-headed threat,” says David Livermore of HPA Microbiological Services Colindale in London, United Kingdom. They and others described problems from widening antimicrobial drug resistance during the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC), held in Chicago, Ill., last September.
