On the subject:

The rise in antibiotic resistance in gram-negative bacteria is a remarkable example of how bacteria can receive, use and pass on new genetic information that leads to resistance to one or more antibiotics. The observed resistance rates vary. Overall, however, it appears that resistances to quinolones and broad-spectrum ß-lactams are found in the Enterobacteriaceae family and in Acinetobacter spp. enforce and spread widely. In addition, the options for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are increasingly limited. Although the introduction of carbapenems in the 1980s promised a new, permanent treatment option for severe bacterial infections, an increasing carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae and Acinetobacter spp. to be observed. In P. aeruginosa it is almost commonplace.
