Afaik, one problem is that the health agencies can only do so much. Most antibiotics and antibiotics misuse happens in agriculture where a totally different agency is responsible. Yes, they should foster more research into new drugs, but the main challenge remains prophylactic animal treatment.
- ErikVandeWater 5y agoIt seems like a situation where hospitals could be designed in such a way to reduce the likelihood of creating 'superbacteria.' Certainly some must be better than others? They could also address society generally having poor health - If the CDC pounded the table about unhealthy foods/the obesity epidemic I'm sure it could move the needle in some way. Addressing the obesity epidemic would be killing 100+ birds with one stone.
