Global warming and civil unrest as the war is among the greatest challenges the world faces. But now considered multiresistente bacteria as a mist as big a threat to humanity.
It said the Uk’s health minister Matt Hancock, when he spoke in front of the world class at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.
Multiresistente bacteria has been a problem for a long time. They do not respond antibiotics, and can lead to serious infections that in the worst case, may have a fatal outcome.
In november last year, wrote Reuters that multiresistente bacteria kills 33 000 people annually in Europe alone. When was the issue referred to as as comprehensive as influenza, tuberculosis and hiv combined. According to NRK, the researchers have intended that more will die of resistant bacteria than cancer in 2050 if the trend continues.
I shiver by the thought of a world where antibiotikumets power is betydningsløs, said Hancock, according to CNN.
– Impossible to heal
Reuters wrote in the year that it actually is thought that as much as 70 per cent of all the bacteria now are resistant to at least one type of antibiotic.
– When antibiotics no longer have any effect, it is extremely difficult, and in many cases impossible, to heal the an infection, stated the european centre for disease control (ECDC) in a public press release.
Hancock says that the government of the united Kingdom as part of a femårsplan going to assist legemiddelprodusenter on the way towards developing new medicine. According to him, there should be invested a billion pounds in the project.
Theresa May sent Thursday out a press release in which she also reviews the importance of having a focus on the problem.
This is a problem we cannot afford to ignore. It is essential that we are able to deal with the spread of antibiotikaresistente bacteria before the small diseases suddenly becomes life-threatening, ” says May.
NRK printer also also also that there should be a new tool on the way to combat the development. the
How should americans combat the deadly superbakterien they themselves have created Spreads via wastewater
Reuters writes that the majority of these bacteria picked up in hospitals and health clinics. The newspaper talked about in the last year that multiresistente bacteria also spreads via wastewater.
Bacteria is also included here to the country’s waste water, through the plant, out in the river again and back to the consumers. Especially leaks from poor drainage system to drinking water is an important smittekilde, according to professor and consultant pathologist at the department of microbiology at the University of Oslo and Oslo university hospital, Tone Tønjum.
What happens is that the patients receive antibiotics, and that this seems to be in the entire body. Thus, the bacteria that are normally found in the intestines more resistant, before they spread through the waste water. Wastewater from hospitals and nursing homes are very undervalued as smittekilde to antibiotikaresistente bacteria, ” says Tønjum.
According to the professor, it is just hospitals and nursing homes that is the primary source of resistant bacteria in the country. She points particularly to the places which have weakened patients requiring more broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Tønjum says there is still hope that the spread of resistant bacteria in this country not to increase as sharply as we have seen in recent years. Among other things, the number of cases with resistant yellow staphylococci increased from 640 in 2008 to 2340 in 2016. In the last year went, however, the number of down for the first time in ten years, to 2302.
