[Molecular and epidemiological bases of bacterial resistance to antibiotics].
The emergence of resistance to antibiotics is related to the genetic determinants of microbial resistance. The characteristics and properties of chromosomal mutations, plasmids, transposons and the various mechanisms of resistance are described. The range of bacterial and genetic exchanges in determining the epidemic spread of resistance to an antibiotic are illustrated and discussed.
