Many of the advances in medical treatment are dependent on the ability to fight infections with antibiotics. If that is lost the ability to safely offer people many life-saving and life improving modern medical advantages will be lost with it. The more that antibiotics are used the FASTER resistance develops and the less effective they are. 1 in 3 outpatient antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary. The solution is Antibiotic Stewardship.
