Addressing antibiotic resistance requires coordinated efforts across multiple sectors. Some key strategies include:
Promoting rational use of antibiotics through stewardship programs to minimize unnecessary prescriptions. Enhancing infection prevention and control measures in healthcare settings to prevent the spread of resistant bacteria. Investing in research and development of new antibiotics and alternative therapies, such as phage therapy. Educating the public and healthcare professionals about the risks of antibiotic misuse and the importance of adherence to prescribed treatments. Strengthening regulatory frameworks to control the sale and use of antibiotics, particularly in agriculture.
