What went wrong with

antibiotics?
Alberto Gutierrez Gonzalez. 6TCB
The antibiotic is a chemical substance produced by a living or synthetic derivative
of it that kills or inhibits the growth of certain types of sensitive organisms, usually
bacteria.
Antibiotic resistance has become a major clinical and public health problem within
the lifetime of most people living today. Confronted by increasing amounts of
antibiotics over the past 60 years, bacteria have responded to the deluge with the
propagation of progeny no longer susceptible to them.
The goal of treatment with antibiotics is to eradicate the pathogen.The first
antibiotic penicillin was discovered in 1897 by Ernest Duchesne, in France, who
worked with Penicillium fungi. That discovery led to the effective treatment of
syphilis, a large public health problem in the 13 th century. That drug, also cash to
fight other infections.
The resistance thereof by these microorganisms is through these mechanisms that
have been developed and confers the ability to inactivate the antibiotic action.
Other causes and factors associated with the emergence of resistant bacterial
strains are irrational use and abuse of these drugs, their use in treatments and
diets for fattening in the veterinary field that can generate resistance in bacteria
affecting humans, and, the fact that the normal bacterial flora own man can be in
many normal human can often be resistant to the action of antibiotics.
These too enter the environment. The stage is thus set for an altered microbial
ecology, not only in terms of resistant versus susceptible bacteria, but also in terms
of the kinds of microorganisms surviving in the treated environment. We currently
face multi resistant infectious disease organisms that are difficult and, sometimes,
impossible to treat successfully.

How does it go global? The genes can be spread via microbes in manure, compost
or the soil, as these enter rivers, leach into underground water, are transported by
the wind or human travel, or in agricultural products such as gardening compost,
its what many specialists had said.

many normal human can often be resistant to the action of antibiotics.
In conclusion, resistance to antibiotics is a major health problem which is an
increase in morbidity and mortality, prolonging treatments and hospital stays, and
increased costs often exceeding budgets which provide health services. For these
reasons, you should develop protocols to maintain therapeutic efficacy at a
reasonable cost. All this can help produce vaccines, the development of new
antibiotics and modification of already known, trying to improve their activity.
