More kebalnya community to antibiotics increasingly become a concern of health experts worldwide. They worry that in the next few years, our bodies may not be able to withstand the spread of some types of bacteria.

People are increasingly resistant to antibiotic drugs. World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that such and called immunity as one of the greatest threats to human health.

Experts say if the problem was not resolved from now, infectious diseases that previously could be treated to emerge again with more great.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) urged the U.S. Congress to respond to the dangers posed resistant microbes which could lead to ways of current treatment becomes ineffective. "If we do not raise awareness to the problem of antibiotic immunity, we may experience a situation where there is little or none at all how to handle many infectious diseases," he said.

Experts fear more and more antibiotics are used, the less its efficacy. Bacterial genetic mutations that make bacteria resistant to antibiotics is a normal natural process. The process happens faster and faster, because the excessive use of antibiotics.

Dr. Donald Poretz said that resistant bacteria can cause perebakan some kind of dangerous diseases. "Examples are urinary tract infections, skin and lungs," said Dr.. Poretz. "different bacteria cause various types of this infection, because bacteria become increasingly resistant. Then, in a more dangerous diseases, like tuberculosis, which is found in many parts of the world, people were given various kinds of antibiotics, but instead TB germs become resistant. "

Many drug companies, according to experts, reducing the production of antibiotics thereby worsening the problem. The use of antibiotics that are less than the dose should result in bacteria that should be eradicated, still life and even become stronger.

Dr. Anthony Fauci of the Management Board of Allergy and Infectious Diseases The U.S. says many drug companies only think about profit, and reduce or stop the production of antibiotics. "Drug companies tend to choose drug production that takes a lot of people throughout their lives than drugs that only needed a small group of people only for 10 days to two weeks in a year," said Fauci.

Experts say solving the problem lies in the efforts to provide counseling to patients and physicians, in order to avoid using antibiotics when not necessary.
