Antibiotic resistance: Protecting antibiotics - the declaration of the world alliance against antibiotic resistance
نویسنده
چکیده
Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is a very serious public health issue. Antibiotics have been “miracle” drugs during many years, but their activity has been reduced sharply by many mechanisms of resistance. New mechanisms make the strains of Gram‐negative bacteria resistant to the 3rd generation cephalosporins, and carbapenems. It is very urgent to act to slow down this phenomenon by global and international programs. We must, in particular, use far fewer antibiotics, which must be actively protected like a precious treasure.
