Infection with drug-resistant microorganisms unspecified with multiple drug resistance

View the most recent version of ICD-9-CM V09.91

  • Adaptation of tumor cells to anticancer drugs in ways that make the drugs less effective.
  • Simultaneous resistance to a spectrum of unrelated drugs following exposure to a single agent. It may result from overexpression of the integral plasma membrane protein, P-glycoprotein. This adaptation of tumor cells to anticancer drugs, mediated by inactivation of the drug or removing it from the target tumor cells, tends to make the drugs less effective.
  • Simultaneous resistance to several structurally and functionally distinct drugs.
