Bacteria exposed to antibiotics will induce them to produce some drug-resistant genes, so if antibiotics are abused, drug resistance will increase, especially in some unreasonable applications. We met many people at the clinic. He is not infected by bacteria, and he will use antibiotics even if it is not necessary. In the process of antibiotic screening, bacteria will develop drug resistance and can spread this drug resistance.
When bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to drugs, this phenomenon is called antimicrobial resistance, which makes infection more difficult to treat and increases the risk of disease transmission, serious diseases and death.
Antibiotic resistance has become a very serious public health problem. It is estimated that by 2050,10 million people will die from super drug-resistant bacterial infection every year. After bacterial resistance, the hospitalization time of patients can be prolonged, the medical expenses will increase, the mortality rate will increase, and the burden of medical institutions will increase.
Myth 1. When you have a fever, you need to use antibacterial drugs.
"I have a headache and brain fever. I went to the clinic and ordered anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics. "
This is abuse! Most colds are viral infections, which do not require antibiotic treatment and have a self-healing period.
Myth 2. Usually, there is no drug resistance without antibacterial drugs.
The problem of drug resistance we are talking about refers to the drug resistance of bacteria, not the drug resistance of patients themselves. A healthy person may also be infected with drug-resistant bacteria.
Myth 3. The more advanced antibacterial drugs, the better.
It is best to find this pathogen before using antibiotics, and then carry out drug sensitivity test on the pathogen, and then see which antibiotic it is resistant and sensitive to, and choose antibacterial drugs according to this result.
Myth 4. Antibacterials are not used according to the doctor's advice.
Some people stop taking drugs when they feel the symptoms are slightly relieved during the usual treatment. In fact, some anti-infective drugs need a course of treatment. Some infectious endocarditis and osteomyelitis, including special bacterial infections, such as brucellosis and tuberculosis, require a long treatment cycle, and it is not necessary to stop taking drugs after the symptoms are relieved. If you don't follow the doctor's advice and stop taking the medicine at will, it will often make the bacteria resistant or the treatment effect is not good.
