Antibiotic resistance caused disastrous threat to medicine, and is likely to mean that patients die of the infection, can no longer be considered a slight risk of operation, the British health officials said on Monday.
Britain's chief medical officer, Sally davies, said the world needs to take action in the research and development of new drug treatment of new mutant infection, antibiotics, antibacterial, resistance to fill "found invalid".
Only a minority of new antibiotics has been the development and the market, in the past few decades, it is to find more time to race, because more and more bacterial infections evolved into "superbugs" resistant to existing drugs.
Caused disastrous threat "resistance. If we don't take action now, any one of us can go to the hospital, in 20 years small operation, a common infection, antibiotic treatment can't die, because," davies told reporters that she issued a report on infectious diseases.
"And normal operation, such as hip replacement surgery or organ transplant can be deadly, because the risk of infection."
, one of the most famous super bacteria MRSA, alone is estimated to kill about 19000, a year - far more than the HIV and AIDS in the United States - and the same number in Europe.
And others are spreading. Totally drug-resistant TB cases, in recent years, there have been a new wave of "super bacteria" mutations called NDM 1, first appeared in India, now has become all over the world, from Britain to New Zealand.
Last year, the who said, untreatable gonorrhea super strain spread all over the world.
Microbiology professor at the university of Birmingham, Laura skin more grams, bacteriostasis, director of the group activities, welcome to Davis's efforts to improve the understanding of the problem.
"There are more and more infections have almost no treatment, we urgently need a new discovery, research and development," she said.
Davis called on governments and organizations all over the world, including the world health organization and the g8, taken seriously, and encourages the development of more innovation and investment, and the threat of antibiotics.
"Over the past two decades, has been found around the antibiotics ineffective, which means that the disease has developed faster than drugs to treat them," she said.
Davis's healthcare and pharmaceutical industries more cooperation between them, to preserve the existing nuclear arsenals of antibiotics, pay more attention to the development of new.
Strengthen patrol, she says, tracking drug-resistant superbugs, less antibiotic prescription, and make sure they are in need of, only rules, and ensure better health, keep infection to a minimum is also important.
Nigel brown's general President of the society for microbiology, agree problem and requires urgent action, and said its members will work hard, in order to gain a better understanding of infectious diseases, reduce the transmission of antibiotic resistance, and to help the development of new antibiotics.
"Microbiology and the new development, such as synthetic biology technology will is the key to achieve this goal," he said.
