Bacteria resistance is increasing!

The Dhaka Times Desk The news is not good news for human civilization. Antibiotic drug resistance is increasing among bacteria. As a result, the chance of recovery of the affected person is slowly decreasing. Scientists have expressed concern in this situation.

In that news, it is also said that experts say that this problem is being created as a result of the consumption of antibiotic drugs. As a result, such bacteria are born that cannot be prevented by any antibiotic. The situation is now getting to the point where antibiotics may no longer be effective in treating common infections. This is what scientists fear.

A conference of science ministers of the G8 alliance of rich countries has started in London with this problem. They say that in order to get rid of this situation, new antibiotics have to be developed, as well as they have to be responsible in their use. The level of ineffectiveness of antibiotics against various bacteria is reaching such an alarming level that England's chief health officer has commented that we may not have any treatment for infections in the future. But the question is, why antibiotic drugs are becoming ineffective day by day, one reason is that antibiotics do not kill all bacteria. Many survive and in many cases grow at incredible speeds. Another major cause is overuse of antibiotics. Overuse causes bacteria to develop a type of resistance.

Experts fear that this overuse of antibiotics has reached dangerous levels. Antibiotics are also being given to prevent minor infections, which should never be the case. In many cases, the bacteria develop resistance due to not taking the full dose of medicine. The situation is getting so bad by the day that many experts fear that many diseases that were once easily treated with antibiotics may no longer be treatable. For example, there is evidence that many antibiotics are not working as well as they used to in treating the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhea. Problems have arisen in the treatment of tuberculosis. A new type of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis bacteria is being discovered. At the G8 conference in London, the development of new antibiotics and their appropriate use to combat this threat will be discussed. This was reported by BBC.
