A. If bacteria acquire resistance to more than one antimicrobial they are called multi-drug resistant. Bacteria with resistance to most or all antimicrobials are often referred to in the popular press as “Superbugs”. Multi-drug resistant pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria may compromise health treatment choices for both animals and humans, prolong recovery, or lead to treatment failure.
