Talk:Drug resistance

message: I encountered this article while doing cleanup on the "resistance" disambiguation, which unfornunately did not initially have a link to here.I now believe that this article should be converted into a brief overview of the phenomenon, listing the similarities and differences in drug resistance for  the different pathogens.
The overarching similarity is evolution by mutation and natural selection.
Another similarity: it's a population pnenomenon. An individual bacterium does not become resistant.
Differences:
*precise mechanisms (viruses do not "pump antibiotics out of the cell.")
*cancer resistance is not contagious.

thread_title:  Purpose of this article. 

message: * no.  The articles on multidrug resistance and drug resistance should not be merged, because multidrug resistance is a major topic in and of itself (see, e.g., multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis).  However, the article on multidrug resistance ought to be cleaned up (or even re-written).  69.143.80.200 03:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article contains the sentence: "When the drug is not intended to kill or inhibit a pathogen, then the term is equivalent to dosage failure or drug tolerance." I don't think this is the case. The term resistance implies that the ineffectiveness of the drug was present already at the beginning, whereas the term tolerance signifies that the ineffectiveness has developed gradually. Compare with the MeSH entry DRUG TOLERANCE: "Progressive diminution of the susceptibility of a human or animal to the effects of a drug, resulting from its continued administration. It should be differentiated from DRUG RESISTANCE wherein an organism, disease, or tissue fails to respond to the intended effectiveness of a chemical or drug." --Eleassar my talk 12:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
