Infection caused by organisms resistant to conventional antimicrobial therapy is an emerging problem of global proportions. This article describes the epidemiology of infections caused by resistant organisms in chronically critically ill patients and explores factors and mechanisms that lead to the development of resistance. Specific organisms and strategies for the treatment and control of these resistance organisms are discussed.
