Как бороться с резистентностью к антимикробным веществам

Jul 20, 2017 Jörg Reinhardt

ЦЮРИХ – Две недели назад лидеры «Большой двадцатки» взяли на себя обязательство работать вместе над одной из самых насущных и озадачивающих угроз безопасности мирового масштаба: резистентностью к антимикробным веществам (AMR) – яростным и развивающимся противником, в борьбе с которым становится бесполезным традиционное терапевтическое оружие.

Угроза проста: бактерии и другие микробы становятся устойчивыми к доступным лекарствам быстрее, чем разрабатываются новые лекарства. Каждый год устойчивые к лекарствам микробы убивают около 700 000 людей во всем мире – это более чем в три раза больше, чем ежегодные потери в вооруженных конфликтах.

В 2016 году специальная группа, уполномоченная британским правительством, сделала прогноз, что к 2050 году от устойчивых к лекарствам микробов ежегодно будет умирать до десяти миллионов человек. Сейчас AMR представляет очевидную и реальную угрозу для каждого человека на планете. Если мы не будем противостоять им, мы рискуем вернуться в мир, где частой причиной смерти являются простые инфекции.

Since 1989, I have warned, begged memebers of my profession and device manufacturers to start thinking and prepare for a pandamic of superbugs, but failed. Scientists and doctors lived under an illusion based on therotical idelaism, implimented stratergies that are abasalete and escilated the crisis that ripped apart families and bankrupted nation.

This article, and recent publications support my claim "We found that sepsis due to lung infections and respiratory insuficiency were the most frequent immediate causes of death"(https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-82862-5).

My article "Superbug Pandamic and How to prevent them", published in American Interest in 2017, and Key note address "Elephant in the Doctors room", explains the problems and solution that can help manage the 21st century crisis.

We must step out of the box, stop advicing people to travel to get tests, empower them to make informed decesion and isolate themself at home, to protect family, friends and healthcare workers. If we don't we will prove Issac Newtons prediction will turnout to be true.

Fighting A war with AMR is not only about bigger guns and newer guns with better antibiotics and more research but also on prevention of infections especially those acquired in hospitals which lead to usevif these antibiotics- focus needs to be on a registry of infections and IPC techniques being implemented as these simple action items get overlooked all the time so you have unsafe injections, double dipping of injections in multi dose vials on different patients, reuse of Syringes instead of ensuring only auto disable Syringes are used in public healthcare , not changing the IV set every time you changed an IV Catheter and vice Versa etc

  In 1992, I published my first article linking IV Cannula and catheters increase MRSA in hospital. In 2003, I invented U-Cannula, and exhibited the device in Medica, Germany in 2006. I warned device manufacturers, doctors and pharmacutical companies about the pandamic. https://www.medica-tradefair.com/en/News/Archive/Safer_Than_Safety_Cannula, saying its not the life of healthcare workers but lives of billions of people we must be worried.
  
  The greed, and overenthusiastic urge to protect their investment, institution, pharmacutical companies and even healthcare providers have distroyed modern medicine. The sharks are waiting for the pilot fishes to dissapear.
  
  This report and others have shown the cause of death in COVID infection is not related to pre-morbid condition, but lung infection (Sepsis and DIC). I anticipate more than 10 million deaths every years sooner than the CDC prediction of 2050.

Very disappointed in how this article fails to speak about the causes behind this horrible problem.

Again it is the G20 countries. What hope is there for the rest who many times have to pay such elevated prices for medicine due to the laboratories' royalties? Laboratories of course need to make profits in order to be able to do research, but the price difference from lab to consumer is most of the time outrageous
