The increase in cases of the disease that are resistant to drugs caused concern experts. They even rate it would trigger a scenario of devastation similar to the terrorist attacks.
Dame Sally Davies, British health officials, said it is to be feared if the last 20 years, many more minor surgery patients die from infections due to no antibiotics are effective.

infections caused antibiotic resistance very serious. Therefore the government should menanggapnya as a public threat.

The British government itself says already prepared a strategy to campaign the importance of rational use of antibiotics among doctors.

Hospital superbugs such as MRSA is an infection that is known to be most resistant to antibiotics. Even so some types of infections are also found in many communities trillionthti TB infection or gonorrhea are also increasingly drug resistant.

Antibiotik which began to lose strength against infection include penicillin. Drugs were once considered a powerful drug is no longer effective for wound infection stahylocoocal.
While ampicillin (kind penislin) is no longer able to treat urinary tract infections and ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic synthetic) is now not effective to treat gonorrhea.

Research to find a new generation of antibiotics is also not easy. since the year 1940-1990 to the development of antibiotic research runs very slowly.

Pharmaceutical companies also consider making antibiotics disadvantage compared with chronic disease drugs. Antibiotics require major research and requires no little funds. Pharmaceuticals now concentrate more on chronic disease drugs.

"Antibiotics are losing their effectiveness and the number of cases is extremely worrying and difficult to repair, just like global warming," said Dame Sally.

He also suggested that patients and prescribers to think carefully medications they asked for.

"Bacteria are easy to adapt and find ways to defend against antibiotics. They become resistant to the medicine. The more we use antibiotics, the more bacteria are resistant to it, "he said.
Changes in modern medicine is also touted to be the trigger why patients are now more easily infected. For example, cancer therapy weakens the immune system and the use of catheters increases the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream.

"Microbial resistance is a global problem and requires an international solution to deal with it," said David Heymann of the Health Protection Agency. Source: Kompas.com, Saturday, January 26, 2013
