Without urgent action to stop that trend, warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report, the miracle drugs to fight them wont be available in the future.
“If we are not careful, the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection. But if we act now, we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines.”
The report names a drugresistant abuse of gonorrhea (淋病), which causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually. Of the number at least 14, 000 result in death.
Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of antibacterial agents. These can be:doctors prescribing (开药)them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria; patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed, so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened, not killed; antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth. Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans.
To limit the spread of resistant infections, experts recommend wider use of routine immunizations(预防), as well as handwashing in hospitals and other health care facilities. Also, the report urges handwashing by food handlers.
Michael Bell, deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC, said patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions.
