Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Infectious diseases are the major health problems in Bangladesh requiring frequently uses of antimicrobials or antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide problem and Bangladesh is a major contributor to this owing to its poor healthcare standards, along with the misuse and overuse on day by day. Antibiotics resistance is when bacteria can no longer be killed by the antibiotics usually used to kill. Antibiotic resistance is a growing very big problem in the United States and worldwide. Recently estimated that 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths occur in the United States each year due to antibiotic-resistant infections. The main cause of increasing antibiotic resistance is the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. It is estimated that 30 percent of antibiotics prescribed are unnecessary. To avoid the treat of antibiotic-resistant infections, it is important to avoid taking unnecessary antibiotics. Antibiotics cannot treat viral infections, such as cold, flu, and most coughs. This article will explain what antibiotics are, how they work, any potential side effects, and antibiotic resistance.
