#NeverWouldHaveThought
I never would have thought that one would be left at home, seriously ill, without help.
I would never have thought that children have to suffer in the dark at home, that relatives would be mocked at the same time, instead of doctors providing help.

#AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) occurs when
🔸 bacteria
🔸 viruses
🔸 fungi
🔸 parasites
no longer respond to medicines,
🚨 making infections harder to treat
🚨 increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness & death.

Bacterial #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) contributes to almost 5 million deaths per year, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries.
Dermatologists prescribe lots of #antibiotics , 60% of which are used for #acne
Antibiotic use contributes to resistance as well as other harms such as breast cancer. It disrupts the microbiome.
Even though 50% of patients received antibiotics for acne, 75% of them would prefer a non-antibiotic therapy

1/2 This is really interesting. #Antiseptic as good as #antibiotics to prevent #urinary infection #UTI. When antibiotics came in we left earlier treatments behind, didn't compare.
2/2 Like potassium permanganate for #gonorrhoea. OK not preferred or first line, but in the age of #AMR we need to know and be ready to use if appropriate. What do science studies people make of this?

🧵Since the first β-lactam, aminoglycoside, macrolide, tetracycline, and fluoroquinolone classes of antibiotics were discovered and approved from 1940 to 1980, few #antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action have been developed

Phase III clinical trials of a antibiotic in a single disease indication cost about US$70 million. Funding for biotech companies—venture capital or government grants—cannot cover this for a drug that will be sold mainly in short courses

@BradSpellberg, who studies infectious diseases, sums up the problem: We'll pay $50,000 for a course of cancer chemotherapy that prolongs life by 3 months, but we don't want to pay more than $100 for a course of antibiotics that cures the target infection

Barriers 🚧 to access health services often lead to inappropriate use of #antibiotics, and ultimately to #AntimicrobialResistance, making infections harder to treat over time & increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness & death.

Se il fenomeno dell'antibiotico resistenza non viene arginato ci ritroveremo con moltissimi batteri letali.
Gli antibiotici che fino ad oggi ci hanno aiutato a gestire questa battaglia sono definiti la più grande scoperta della medicina moderna.

2/6 Use symptoms, not tests to diagnose UTIs:
Uncomplicated lower UTI can be diagnosed with > 90% probability if pt has 2 or more of dysuria, urgency, and frequency, and no vaginal discharge.
This is less reliably predicted for older women.

1/ Strict new rules on the use of #antibiotics and other #antimicrobials in pigs, chickens and other #farm animals come into force today across the #EU. What do the changes mean - and are they good for animals and consumers? A thread//
2/ In 2019 alone 5m deaths were connected to #AntimicrobialResistance (#AMR), according to a recent @TheLancet report. The deadly, drug-resistant infections behind these deaths come about because of the over- and misuse of antimicrobials, which makes bacteria resistant to them
3/ When drug-resistant bugs develop in animals because of antibiotic overuse they can easily spread to humans - often through #food. For example, rates of drug-resistant #salmonella have risen - & infections mainly come from #chicken & other #poultry. imperial.ac.uk/news/170889/an…
#AntimicrobialResistance 💊 is something we all need to be aware of & understand its impact on health. Overuse of #Antibiotics for illnesses that don't need it means they can become less effective over time.

He goes 2 a GP. Clinical examination and blood tests done. Says some chest infection. Puts him on antibiotics for a week. Asks for review. 1wk later some change in symptoms, but not fully ok. GP extends antibiotic course 7 more days. C, no fever and no signs of infection yet.

After 14d course, no change. Patient chucks the GP. Goes for a senior GP. Senior GP does clinical exam,blood tests AND chest X ray. X ray comes back as "not looking normal" 🙄 But no diagnosis. So he says. Let's try a short course of #antibiotics AND antifungal. Again 14 days

"Following the recommendations of the Interagency Coordination Group on #AntimicrobialResistance, we have come together to advocate for urgent action to combat the threat of AMR, to reinvigorate global political momentum, & to catalyze action in an One Health approach"-@DrTedros
"It is critical that our discussions are followed up in countries and lead to real results. As #COVID19 has so harshly demonstrated, the world cannot afford another global crisis. We must act, and we must act together"-@DrTedros on #AntimicrobialResistance
"That means we need political leaders, the private sector and civil society working together, first to address the drivers of #AntimicrobialResistance"-@DrTedros
