Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed drugs used in human medicine. However, up to 50% of all the antibiotics prescribed for people are not needed or are not effective as prescribed.1 There are four core actions that will help fight antibiotic resistance: 1 Preventing the spread 2 Tracking resistant bacteria 3 Improving antibiotic prescribing and stewardship 4 Developing advanced diagnostics and new antibiotics Rapid...
