But how do you fix antibiotics abuse in other countries? Antibiotic resistant bacteria are spreading a lot faster in Russia, Pakistan, India, South East Asia and Latin America. And with international tourism growing it is just a matter of time before it reaches everywhere in the world.
- scotty79 13y agoThere is not so much problem of antibiotics overuse in poorer countries as there is a problem of antibiotics misuse. Where antibiotics are expensive people tend not to take them long enough so they fail to kill bacteria that were sligtly resistant to the antbiotic and this also contibutes toward increasing antibiotics resistance. You could probably do a lot of good by requiring from the pharmaceutical companies that want to sell antibiotics on american market to ship half of their production to Russia and such for free. That would increase price of antibiotics for americans to prevent overuse and make them available in poor countries to prevent misuse.
