The substantial increase in the incidence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria observed in recent years represents a significant challenge to public health microbiology worldwide. Read our ResearchGate post on how NCTC bacterial strains with known resistance mechanisms and sensitivities, and pre-antibiotic era isolates can be used to better understand antibiotic resistance and enhance antibiotic research.
