 * Clarify and keep. The term uniformly refers to microorganisms that are resistant to antibiotics, not to people who are resistant to the use of antibiotics. This is probably a term that would be useful for a phrasebook in case of an emergency. bd2412 T 03:06, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I would add that we have no other-language terms for antibiotic-resistant, but some languages have single-word terms for multiresistance (multi-drug antibiotic resistance) - Multiresistenz in German, multitolerantsus in Estonian, and wielooporność in Polish. bd2412 T 03:13, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * English too has a single-word term for multiresistance, viz. . I don’t understand why this is relevant for the term under discussion. --Lambiam 11:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. The very definition (“That shows resistance to antibiotics”) exhibits with perfect clarity that this is a SOP. Colonization-resistant mice show, insulin-resistant diabetes shows , and pesticide-resistant ticks show . --Lambiam 11:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. If it refers only to micro-organisms that are resistant to antibiotics, that should be added to the entry. DonnanZ (talk) 08:19, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if it is in practice used only of bacteria, it is still pretty blatant SoP. We may as well have an entry for "heat-resistant" because this normally applies only to substances and not people, or "rabbit-proof" because this normally applies to fences and not door locks or medicine bottles. Oh. Hold on ... Mihia (talk) 20:57, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Too late -, and  already exist, as they should do. DonnanZ (talk) 22:05, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * A shocking discovery: is missing. I guess that we “should” also have entries for, . and &thinsp; (and , , , , ...).  --Lambiam 09:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * You overlooked the less formal synonym, however. DonnanZ (talk) 16:32, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Rabbit-proof is saved by appeal to COALMINE, whose redemptive powers do not extend to hyphenated compounds in general. --Lambiam 08:25, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

 * It also doesn't apply to companies and philosophies that resist antibiotics, so that doesn't seem to be a very strong argument to me. If someone did write about an antibiotic-resistant pharmacy, it would mean exactly the same thing. Delete. DAVilla 02:58, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
