Every few years there are reports of antibiotic resistant microbes that prompt, a number of predictions about "the end of antibiotics." It happened in the 90s years with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and then again earlier this decade with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA. It happened again to Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae or CRE. As predictably, these bacteria in the course of time more and more antibiotics become resistant. Almost exactly like foresee was, could you be known as Carbapenems - by a category of powerful antibiotics until now treated.
Today, 35 States have cases of CRE infection of the Centers for disease control and prevention in Atlanta. And are dangerous. In a recent study of nearly 100 cases more than one third of patients infected died. The concern about these bacteria is compounded by the fact that new antibiotics to treat you there isn't any time soon. Most experts agree that even in the most optimistic scenario there are probably about 10 years before effective new drugs are being developed. A variety of efforts are discussed these discussions, to accelerate the development of new antibiotics, but often overlooked a critically important issue. One of the reasons that our current antibiotics losing their effectiveness is because we use you incorrectly.Studies have repeatedly shown that up to 50% of antibiotics are recipes either unnecessary or inappropriate - is a statistic that disappointing reduce this overuse einheitlich.Nicht in both stationary hospitals and outpatient clinics, then our current antibiotics affected it threatens the utility all new antibiotics which come in the future together.
While we work on new antibiotics for the future, it is much that now needs to be done to both keep the lifetime of antibiotics that we currently have and prepare to ensure the way for extended utility of new antibiotics are being developed.The most immediate need is to reduce the overuse of this Drogen.Verringerung which antibiotic overuse is good for society as a whole, but it is also good for individual patients. A recent study showed that exposure to a Carbapenem was antibiotic the single biggest risk factor for infection with CRE, increase the risk of 15-fold get.
This week the CDC and its partners have has "get smart on health" program to complement the existing "get smart: know when antibiotics work" program. This is an extension of the CDC's existing get smart programs targeting outpatient clinics and pediatricians include offices, hospitals and nursing homes. Promotion of appropriate antibiotics use, also fundamentally, it seems can our drugs more wear.
It can be helpful to see how we view resources that benefit from concerted and coordinated conservation efforts antibiotics much.Maintenance requires cooperation and recognition that individual actions on the common good auswirken.Verringerung of the overuse engage means everyone in the effort - for example through the passage of innovative measures that target urge hospitals, other health care facilities and even pharmaceutical companies, promoting stewardship. By aligning incentives for hospitals and health care facilities on infection control and prevention focus, we can reduce the prevalence of resistant infections to jump from healthcare in the community.By motivating pharmaceutical companies about drug resistance can we manage to stop, overselling their drugs promote. consumers must also stop to require antibiotics if you suffer from a viral infection.
We need urgent new antibiotic-.Aber in the meantime we must extend this with a focus on those who only is we already in a sustainable manner and way haben.Nicht utility the drugs we now have on the market, but it is also ensures that approved drugs in the future will remain effective for longer periods.
It's just alarming predictions about the end of antibiotics to machen.Es is harder, but not less possible, final steps companies to ensure that such a day never comes.It is time to act.

Suppose farm to call use of antibiotics, which was shown by the Danish experience that the cause of much resistance, then is passed to humans.
The Danish saw heavily restricted farm use of antibiotics and as a result of resistance to antibiotics steep fallen.Sie also have a comprehensive monitoring programme, which tracks farm and human use of antibiotics and resistance.
Strict restriction of farm use of antibiotics would go a long way to maintain the usefulness of current antibiotics.
