As a Microbiologist I see multi-drug resistant microbes causing infection in our patients each day. Surgery, intensive care, transplants, chemotherapy and neonatal care are all performed under the umberella of antibiotics. If we carry on at the same rate where antibiotics are not developed (drug companies do not have a financial incentive to develop new antibiotics they are engrossed in chronic disease medications where the money lies) and resistance continues at its current rate, we will not be able to provide such acre safely. This not only affects hospital patients but also patients in general practice where the choice of oral antibiotics available to treat resistant bacteria has been whittled down to the point where patients now have to come into hospital for IV antibiotics to treat their infections.
