HOW TO REDUCE RESISTANCE TO ANTIBACTERIAL THERAPY?

Abstract

Development of antibacterial agents became one of the greatest inventions of the previous century. The effective counteraction to infectious disease agents allowed saving lives of many patients. But in our day-to-day activities we face the reverse side of the widespread use of such drugs: growth of resistance to them and increase of side effects. This can’t but cause concern of the medical community. On the one hand, this problem was urgent at the end of the 90s when due to various reasons a process of development and implementation of new antimicrobials reduced. On the other hand, wide uncontrolled use of antibiotics due to their availability and low adequacy of prescription led to increase of resistance development to them of various microorganisms.
