antibioma

An infection occurring during antimicrobic therapy that is caused by an overgrowth of drug-resistant microorganisms.

Superinfection refers to a secondary infection that occurs in a person who is already infected with a primary infection, often caused by a different microorganism than the initial infection. This can happen when the normal or protective microflora in the body is disturbed, allowing the new infection to take hold. Treating a superinfection may require different medications than those used for the original infection.

The presence of the parasite within the host confers a degree of protection against superinfection

Outcome is chronic infection and density dependant disease

In medicine, superinfection is an infection following a previous infection, especially when caused by microorganisms that are resistant or have become resistant to the antibiotics used earlier.
