Antimicrobial Product Use and Human HealthAbstract:The author of this paper, a student at the University of, argues how the use of antimicrobial products – products which include antibiotics and antibacterial products – pose a threat to human health. There are many contributing factors which include the inappropriate, overuse of antibiotics on common illnesses, the use of antibacterial products, which encourage resistant bacteria growth, and the mere fact that antimicrobial resistant bacteria are easily generated and spread.
The use of antimicrobial products cause various health concernsDid you know that many of todays common illnesses, including strep throat and staph infections, contain bacteria that are resistant to many or all its known antibiotics? This means that when ones admitted to the hospital for a staph infection, any antibiotic used on the patient will not get rid of the infection. Antimicrobial products include antibiotics, the basic drugs prescribed by a doctor, and antibacterial products, such a baby wipes and hand sanitizers. There are many deaths related to antimicrobial resistant illnesses each year, and it seems as though some people arent fully aware of antimicrobial product side effects. Why do antimicrobial products raise concern when they were originally made to lessen the concern over infectious bacteria? Many people may choose to ignore or disagree with the fact that antimicrobial products arent the best solution for eliminating infectious bacteria, when in truth, antimicrobial products support the growth of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Antimicrobial resistant bacteria, more commonly known as superbugs, spread rather quickly and are easily conjured. Society also uses antimicrobial agents in many household products, which produces “a larger breeding ground” for bacteria to mutate and form more resistant strands of bacteria. Furthermore, because bacteria are able to mutate quickly, antibiotics used to treat infections are becoming scarcer; new drugs that are able to fight the newly resistant bacteria are harder to manufacture. These are reasons as to why the use of antimicrobial products raises a red flag when it comes to human health.
Once a minimal issue, antimicrobial resistance has increased both in the United States and worldwide (Jenkins et al).Within the last decade, deaths related to antimicrobial resistant bacteria have skyrocketed. This is because bacteria swap DNA like teenagers swap clothing; quickly and carelessly. Moreover, to maximize the impact of these methods of bacterial formation, bacterial growth happens to be exponential; one bacterium can multiply itself into a million copies in a matter of hours. How is this a threat to public health? Take this following example. A person with strands of antimicrobial resistant bacteria could simply infect a bathroom door handle in the morning, and by late afternoon,
A person with antimicrobial resistant bacteria could simply infect a bathroom door handle in the morning, and by late afternoon, the bacteria could be spread to other people. This could mean that the door should be replaced by others, to minimize the transmission of the infection…for example, by a person receiving antimicrobial resistance vaccine.The answer is a simple one. This is how you can reduce the impact of these methods on children and families of all species.In recent years, however, a number of factors have been highlighted as potential barriers to effective infection control and vaccination. These include an increased incidence of antimicrobial resistance and decreased awareness, and a lack of effective vaccination strategies. In particular, the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance has decreased by 50% relative to population in the United States, despite a rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A Few More Steps
How is The ABI Antimicrobial Resistance and Global Outbreak of Antibiotic–Pesticide-Related Diseases Affected by the US Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy, 2016?
Readers like myself, as a doctor and author, have often experienced similar situations. It was difficult to know exactly where to begin, and, therefore, the US has a large number of initiatives aimed at preventing and managing ABI outbreaks while simultaneously reducing antibiotic use. These include effective use of antimicrobials and other drugs, which have proven to be particularly effective at reducing the risk of ABI.The best way to improve the effectiveness and spread of antibiotics globally is through a high-volume approach. In the beginning of 2016, the US’s National Institute of Allergy, Infectious Diseases (NIAID) released a report “What Should We Do About Antibiotic-Addicted People?” that discussed steps it would take to reduce the overall problem by 75% while maintaining the quality of life.
This same level of effort should also be applied to the prevention of disease. For instance, the NIAID recommends that all US adults should be vaccinated against E. coli.E. coli is transmitted through contact with the gastrointestinal tract. While this is certainly a critical medical area with significant epidemiological costs for prevention, it is also a relatively simple and safe way to prevent infection. A high-dose of antibiotics, especially those in combination with other medication, can reduce the risk of infection to less than 1 out of every 10 people. This translates to a reduction in the risk of E. coli and other diseases by an average of 24%.
This is why many people with compromised immune systems like to try to delay antibiotics while they are treating their patients in the emergency room. Many of us think of ourselves as caring for and caring for patients who can’t pay for their vaccinations. But as our bodies grow more resilient, we understand that we may spend more time and resources per
