Antimicrobial Resistance occurs when bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites no longer respond to drugs due to the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in humans, animals and plants.
Antibiotic resistance is a natural occurrence caused by mutations in bacteria’s genes. Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics has accelerated the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
The act of everyone taking responsibility and accountability when accepting, prescribing, and administering antibiotics. This includes clinicians, patients, pharmacists, and agriculturalists.
This is important in order to keep antibiotics effective for future generations.
Using the Next Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) diagnostic will identify exactly what is causing your infection. You can order an at-home kit through MicrogenDX.
Once the exact cause of the infection has been identified, if topical treatment is an option, request a topical compound anti-infective be prescribed from a reputable compound pharmacy.
It is a treatment for bacterial infections using bacterial viruses that find, infect, and kill bacteria. This includes bacterial infections that are resistant to antibiotics aka Superbugs.
