- The occurrence of multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacteria is steadily increasing, not only in medical centers but also in food, animals and the environment, which is of primordial concern for health authorities worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) published a global pathogen priority list to encourage international interdisciplinary research initiatives on the occurrence, dissemination, and epidemiology of the most dangerous multiresistant pathogens with the aim to develop effective prevention strategies against the spread of these bugs and new therapeutic approaches to treat infections in agreement with the One Health concept. According to the WHO global pathogen priority list, the most critical resistant pathogens include carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and carbapenem-resistant as well as third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. This critical group is followed by pathogens of high priority including vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori. Here, we summarize recent data on the occurrence and spread of these and other harmful resistant pathogens, on their resistance mechanisms as well as on the modes of resistance spread, as far as is known. We finish the chapter with an outlook on promising innovative strategies to treat infectious diseases caused by multiresistant pathogens – in combination with antibiotic therapy – as well as on approaches to combat the antibiotic resistance spread.
