I thought this was an issue at least 30 years ago and still nothing has been done about it.

Antibiotic Resistance Can Emerge in Your Gut Even Without Antibiotics Use

Today is the second day of ‘World Antimicrobial Awareness Week’ and Moxafrica is publishing a series of blogs posts.
Antimicrobial Medicine Resistance is unquestionably a growing problem and indeed was endorsed as such by the World Health Organization (WHO) at the Sixty-Eighth World Health Assembly in May 2015. It's also no coincidence that the year before that, in 2014, the then UK prime minister David Cameron had commissioned a review regarding what he was being advised was a worrying global phenomenon. “If we fail to act,” he warned at the time, “we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine.” His doom-laden warnings were undoubtedly being stoked by his then Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, who (since leaving office in 2019) has become the UK’s official ‘special envoy on AMR’.

Today is Antibiotic Awareness Day
Door de WHO is antibioticaresistentie erkent als een van de grootste bedreigingen voor de wereldwijde gezondheid, voedselzekerheid en ontwikkeling.
Ieder jaar in november, op Antibiotic Awareness Day, wordt er wereldwijd stilgestaan bij het gebruik van antibiotica. Antibiotica zijn sinds hun ontdekking een van de belangrijkste hoekstenen van de moderne geneeskunde. Door gebruik in mensen en dieren worden bacteriën echter in toenemende mate resistent voor de beschikbare antibiotica, ook in Nederland!

- Antibioticaresistentie kan iedereen, van elke leeftijd, in elk land treffen.
- Antibioticaresistentie komt van nature voor, maar misbruik (onnodig gebruik) van antibiotica versnelt het proces. en groeiend aantal veel voorkomende infecties - zoals urineweginfecties, longontsteking, tuberculose en gonorroea – worden moeilijker te behandelen omdat antibiotica steeds minder effectief zijn.
- Antibioticaresistentie leidt tot langer verblijf in het ziekenhuis, hogere medische kosten en verhoogde sterfte.
