Who worries about using antibiotics to fatten livestock and poultry

Introduction: the World Health Organization (who) said on Sunday that humans are building a dangerous level of resistance to modern antibiotics, which may make humans vulnerable to deadly diseases Farmers who use antibiotics to fatten their livestock and poultry make the problem worse because animal microbes become more resistant to drugs and then attack the human immune system through the food chain The world health group says TB strains in several countries are resistant to two of the most effective drugs, and some malaria resistant drugs are no longer useful because the bacteria are already resistant "Antibiotics are the most important invention of the 20th century," who president Gro Harlem Brundtland said in a statement "Unless we take action to protect these medical miracles, we will enter the era of antibiotic disappearance, and many medical and surgical advances will be destroyed by incurable infectious diseases." Who says industry data show that pharmaceutical companies have spent more than $17 billion over the past five years developing drugs to treat infectious diseases, and most of this investment will be wasted unless the problem of drug resistance is addressed quickly Who urged patients, doctors, hospitals, farmers and lawmakers to act to stop the threat Who wants farmers to stop using antibiotics to fatten their animals, suggesting that when animals get sick, farmers should give them the necessary drugs according to regulations The report also says patients should avoid putting pressure on doctors to give them antibiotics Doctors should prescribe specific drugs for a person's illness, rather than automatically giving them the latest or famous drugs Hospitals should develop stricter monitoring systems "The strategy is to promote smarter drug use so that resistance is minimized and treatment continues to be effective for our offspring."
