Sir Alexander Fleming in his Nobel lecture in 1945 said, “Time may come when penicillin can be bought by anyone in stores.
Then there is a danger that the fool can easily under his dose and by exposing the microbus with the number of drugs that don’t Turning off makes them resistant.
“Today in 2021, the doctor warned us to misuse of antibiotics and how antibiotic resistance was a threat throughout the world.
What is antibiotics abuse?
Antibiotic abuse refers to consuming antibiotics without medical advice, using old recipes, do not complete the specified or shortening course of the duration of treatment, take less than the specified dose, or fail to comply with the right frequency.
Why do we need to practice carefully
Kiran G Kulirankal, Assistant Professor, Infectious Division, Amrita Hospital, Kochi explained, “Antibiotics have not only saved lives but have led to great progress in the development of medicine and surgery.
They have increased the average life expectancy from the mid-twenties to the year The seventies in the last century by reducing morbidity and mortality caused by infection.
The rampant use of antibiotics has made its way for resistance evolution.
Inappropriate recipes also contribute to the emergence of multi-resistant organisms.
The use of antibiotics to treat livestock also adds to the transmission of drug resistance .
Economic and regulatory barriers in the pharmaceutical industry have caused fewer antibiotics developed.
”
He added, “With the emergence of resistance to the first and second-line antibiotic treatment options, health care professionals are forced to use more expensive reserve antibiotics and with side effects.
This will only increase the cost of the nation’s health care infrastructure that has worked too hard.”
AMR crisis (antimicrobial resistance)
The World Health Organization has recognized the critical need to overcome AMR (antimicrobial resistance) urgently and has stated that AMR is one of the 10 global public health threats that face humanity.
R.
Sonali Diphe, Medical Director, Pfizer Limited, “According to a 2017 report, around 700,000 people died because AMR every year.
This has the potential to rise by 10 million deaths every year in 2050, if there is no action taken now.
AMR can also produce a decrease in 3 , 8% in the annual GDP Great antibiotics, including the third generation carpenem and cephalosporin – antibiotics used to treat multi-drug resistant bacteria, he added.
Atlas (Leadership and Supervision of Antimicrobial Testing) is a global database (including India), fully can be searched by PFIZER for antibacterial supervision which is useful for HCP to understand local resistance patterns from various bacteria and antibiotics that can work on these bacteria.
We also have a sustainable education program for doctors, nurses, and pharmacists in implementing antimicrobial management in hospitals.
Conclusion
The need for hours is the right training of health care workers regarding antibiotic recipes and awareness of stopping unnecessary use of antibiotics among the people.
We need laws to prevent sales of antibiotics and sell drugs only with valid recipes – all these steps will help curb the spread of antibiotic resistance.
