Pathogens resistant to drugs are becoming increasingly common, largely because of the excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics. To a degree, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is caused by mutations in the genome of bacteria, while
Researchers have analyzed the rise of antibiotic resistance over the last 20 years in the UK and Norway, highlighting that antibiotic use is not the only factor in the increase.
For the first time, researchers have analyzed the impact of antibiotic use on the rise of treatment-resistant bacteria over the last 20 years in the UK and Norway. They show that while the increase in drug use has amplified the spread of superbugs, it is not the only driver.
