Antibiotic for Future: Disarm Bacteria, Don’t Kill!!
Journal Title: Journal of Enam Meical College - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The global emergence of antimicrobial resistance has become a pre-eminent concern in medical and public health.¹ Resistance in bacterial pathogen is an inevitable consequence of antibiotic use. Despite the repeated warning negligent antibiotic use and poor infection control practice have led to continuing development of extensive resistance problem.² Increasing antimicrobial resistance and multiple drug resistance have resulted in increasing diffculties in the treatment of bacterial infections. Resistance leads to inappropriate empirical therapy, delay in starting effective treatment, use of less effective, more toxic and more expensive drugs, treatment failure, prolonged or additional hospitalization, increased cost of care and increased mortality.
