China will face the problem without available effective antibiotics

Currently, resistance to penicillin is almost 100%, it shows a terrible trend that there will be no effective antibiotics in future. What will we do if we have no antibiotics with effect on the bacteria someday? Talking about the severe consequences of antibiotics docetaxel misuse, many experts and scholars are worried.

Since the beginning of today is not the abuse of antibiotics, is not limited to China. World Health Organization has the 2011 World Health Day theme of control antimicrobial resistance. 10 years ago, the organization had issued a "WHO global strategy for control of antimicrobial resistance, but some of China's situation is even worse.

Antibiotic production in China is the world's largest country, an annual output of 1.47 million tons, 75 percent of world industrial salt of penicillin, cephalosporins 80%, 90% of the streptomycin antibiotic produced in China. China is a big country use of antibiotics, the per capita annual consumption of 138 grams, while in the U.S. only 13 grams. China is the world's most serious abuse of antibiotics countries, the overall resistance rate of bacteria in the United States and Europe about 45%. In hospitalized patients, antibiotic usage is as high as 70%, of which almost everyone surgical patients with antibiotics, as high as 97%.

Note that the abuse of antibiotics not only in the hospital also occurs in the corral. According to the survey estimated that China's annual production of antibiotics raw material about 21 tons, of which 97,000 tons of antibiotics used in livestock breeding industry, accounting for 46.1% of annual production. Shandong, Liaoning, part of the rural livestock survey, 50% of farmers in different degrees in the feed added antibiotics and other drugs. Excessive use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, resulting in a variety of antibiotics in meat and dairy products, excessive amount of such foods lead to accumulation of antibiotics in human body, even if you want to cure people, when the body itself has been the use of antibiotics resistance.

Many patients believe that antibiotics seem a panacea, are valid for all infections, therefore, not to prescribe antibiotics, patients will complain about a doctor not seriously see a doctor, and even some people direct their orders. A doctor said. So that the total number of patients - patients with viral respiratory tract infection amoxicillin condition improved after the fact, that the disease is usually the result of natural processes, rather than the effect of amoxicillin.

Antibiotic abuse is a medical dispute trouble. Tension between doctors and patients, doctors had to protect themselves, to give you antibiotics, and use the best, and that you re-infection is your thing the doctor If not, or with the general, out of trouble, the patient may ask a doctor: I have money, why do not you give me ?

However, a doctor's prescription is still more important reason for the abuse of antibiotics, especially in drugs to support medical system, the more it to the extreme. A pharmaceutical experts said the country, many patients to hospital, spend a hundred dollars on a small cold antibiotic medicine, and in fact most cold caused by a virus, antibiotics do not help. Why do patients tend to use expensive drugs? Antibiotics more expensive the better idea is to patients who passed?

Three kinds of misuse of antibiotics are: first, the idea of a doctor, the doctor's medical academic level is not high; second, the doctor in order to protect themselves and the abuse of antibiotics; third, more income and more medication. Cause or arguable, the consequences are indisputable. If the appropriate use of antibiotics can not become the norm, it will have dire consequences, emerging super bacteria and untreatable infections. In 2010, super bacteria named New Delhi metallo- ²-lactamase-1 (NDM-1) that sounded the alarm to humans. The bacteria contain a rare enzyme that exists in the E. coli DNA, and thus to produce a wide range of resistance, were hard to cure infection and even death. NDM-1 replication are strong, spread fast and prone to mutations, in the present case of abuse of antibiotics is a very dangerous kind of super bacteria. Therefore, the world was shocked.

Antibiotics misuse can cause nervous system damage, gastrointestinal, hematopoietic system damage, superinfection and so on. There are about 2.5 million adverse irinotecan drug people go to hospital due to the disease reactions in China every year.  About half of patients with acquired deafness due to aminoglycoside antibiotics abuse. 20 million people die of adverse drug reactions, of which 40% died of antibiotics abuse. It leads to the consequence that 80 billion RMB medical cost increase. Chinese government should establish a reasonable application supporting system for antibiotics clinical, limit adding the antibiotics in feed and strengthen the pharmaceutical management on retail sales of antibiotics. For dealing with this problem, it needs to restrict the right to prescribe antibiotics and increase the education of medical staffs.Source:http://www.cospcn.com
