Resistencia a los antibióticos: Una Revisión Bibliográfica.: Antibiotic Resistance

Abstract

Antibiotic resistance currently represents one of the greatest global health threats. The rapid development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is challenging the scientific community to find new ways to control bacterial infections while also creating new antibiotics to replace those that are now useless. The consequences of this crisis are already visible in the increase in illness and death, with approximately 2.8 million infections and 700,000 deaths globally per year. The main cause of this crisis is the use given to antibiotics, so in order to combat antibiotic resistance, the population must be informed of the correct use of antibiotics and thus stop the problem before it starts.
