Exploring antibiotic resistance in the EU EurobarometerEU AntibioticResistance AntimicrobialResistance EU
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MDNov 22 2022Reviewed by Aimee Molineux Antibiotics are defined as medicines that prevent and treat bacterial infections. When these medicines become ineffective due to the selection of bacterial traits that inhibit their action because of changes in the bacterial genetic makeup, it is called antibiotic resistance.
Notably, some have become impossible to treat with the drugs already on hand. This is the case with extended multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis. The current survey is the fourth, and covered areas such as antibiotic use over the past year among the public, with the reasons and mode of obtaining the drugs; antibiotic use and risk awareness; current information and desire to know more; antibiotic use in animals; and COVID-19-related antibiotic use.
Similarly, a culture and drug susceptibility test for pneumonia and bronchitis are typically required to select the right antibiotic, thus avoiding the overgrowth of resistant strains with ineffective empirical treatment. Antibiotic awareness Of the four questions related to antibiotic knowledge, only 28% answered all of them correctly. In fact, only half the respondents in the survey on which the paper was based knew that antibiotics are inactive against viruses – though this also reflects an increase from the earlier proportion of 43% in 2018.
