| cross-resistance |
The phenomenon in which a microbe that has acquired resistance to one drug through direct exposure subsequently has resistance to one or more other drugs to which it has not been exposed. Cross-resistance arises because the biological mechanism of resistance to several drugs is the same and arises through identical genetic mutations.
