It has been noted that the immunity of bacteria has increased in the recent period, with the increase in the number of prescriptions for antibiotics, as evidenced by recent medical statistics. And a study by Public Health England found that antibiotic prescriptions were increased by 6 percent. Antibiotics were among the most important medical discoveries that saved millions of lives, but there is concern that the increased use of antibiotics will reduce their effectiveness.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has warned that the world will retreat into "medical dark ages" unless urgent action is taken. And Professor Sally Davis warned the BBC website of a terrible scenario in which it is not ruled out that the types of infections that have become deadly will return again.
The study includes comprehensive data from prescriptions issued by general practitioners, hospitals and dental clinics.
The study recorded prescription data recorded between 2010 and 2013, and an increase in prescriptions was observed of 6 percent, from 25.9 percent to 27.4 percent for every 1,000 patients per day.
Coli resistance increased by 12% for the same period.
"We know that less than 1 percent of bacteria are resistant to more than one treatment at this moment," said Dr. Susan Hopkins, from the Public Health Foundation in England. "This means that they are resistant to most of the antibiotics currently known."
