Misuse of top antibiotics gives rise to superbugs: WHO report -Durgesh Nandan Jha

-The Times of india

NEW DELHI: The World Health Organisation (WHO) has published its first ever list of antibiotic-resistant 'priority pathogens' — a catalogue of 12 families of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health.

This is bad news for India as most of these 12 superbugs have presence in the country. The list was drawn up to promote research and development of new antibiotics, the global health agency said, adding that the move was part of efforts to address the problem of growing global resistance to antimicrobial medicines.

"Antibiotic resistance is growing and we are fast running out of treatment options. If we leave it to market forces alone, the new antibiotics we urgently need are not going to be developed in time," said Dr Marie-Paule Kieny, WHO's assistant director-general for health systems and innovation.
