This is a description of drug resistancy! Multidrug resistance is resistance against at least three antimicrobials *Feb 2007*—Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.3.234.5 (talk • contribs)

Merger super AIDS

I've added this as a proposal as seems little to the topic of Super AIDS, and whilst Multidrug resistance spends some space discussing bacteria that are resistant, almost total absence of mention of virus seems ripe to include Super AIDS. Of course unlike the wide range of bacteria and the various groups of antibiotics widely use, there are few viruses that are actively treated and so few viral illness for which drug resistance, let alone multiple drug resistance, ever becomes an issue - need for multiple drugs for AIDS is only example than comes to my mind.

There are other sexually transmitted diseases such as super ghonorrhea which is caused by multiple drug resistance that can be included in this section along with other related illnesses. Aerinsong (talk) 16:13, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Methods to develop resistance is inaccurate

'DNA transfer' is a nonspecific term, according to the scientific community the correct term is 'gene transfer'. DNA transfer means a random amount of DNA is transferred, while gene transfer means an entire gene is transferred. Biology textbooks reference it as 'gene transfer'.

Last Sentence of the Lede

"The definitions..."

Sounds like a justfication for including the definition in the article. It it more than that? If it's not, the sentence should be removed, a simple source (which is given) should be enough. --84.132.144.110 (talk) 14:03, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
