Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUP : Superinfection
In virology, superinfection describes the process by which a cell that has previously been infected by one virus gets coinfected with another virus at a later point in time.
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.
