The Consequences Of Antimicrobial Resistance
Mortality: resistant infections more often fatal
Morbidity: prolonged illness, greater chance for resistant organisms to spread to other people.
Cost: increased cost of care, newer, more expensive drugs.
The Threat To You
Infectious Disease is the Leading Cause of Death
World Wide.
Treatable Diseases are becoming untreatable.
Greater than 80% of Infectious Disease is Spread by the Hands.
Increased Antimicrobial Resistance, poor sanitation and Hygiene are
wreaking havoc on the world community.
In the U.S., 90,000 people die each year from hospital acquired (nosocomial)
infections (MRSA & VRE). These deadly microbes are now found outside
hospitals and in the general population.
Air travel has enabled infectious to spread around the world in a few
hours.
Infectious disease poses a more deadly threat than war.
Government resources are burdened with the cost of fighting the
never ending struggle against ever mutating and resistant pathogens.
When a hospital patient contracts a nosocomial infection it doubles
the length of the patients time in hospital. Judicious use of Antibiotics
combined with good sanitation and hygiene protocols practiced by clinicians
and the general public would dramatically reduce the burdens (economic
and human) associated with the treatment of infectious diseases.
