Understanding antibacterial action and resistance
Abstract
Mode of action of antibiotics and their uptake into bacteria antiseptics, disinfectants and preservatives - their properties, mechanisms of action and uptake into bacteria sporistatic and sporicidal agents - their properties and mechanisms of action genetic and biochemical basis of chemotherapeutic antibiotics genetic and biochemical basis of resistance to antiseptics, disinfectants and preservatives mechanisms of spore resistance to biocides impact on society of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and biocides and ways of counteracting it.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
