A noted by Richard Grant and Tom Hennessy, antibiotic reasistnce is a serious problems that must be addressed by multiple approaches. The niche that has become the haven for multiple resistant bacteria remains nosocomial, and there are many recommendations pertaining to infection control that need to be fully implemented. There have been recommendations over four decades about measures to limit selectively the use of human therapeutic antimicrobial agents as growth-promotants in agriculture. The overuse of antibiotics by physicians remains a primary source for sustaining the population of resistant microorganisms in the general populations. As noted previously, steps ought to be taken to reduce selective pressures for sustaining resistant populations. There are proactive steps to control antibiotic reasistnce, including the development of new inhibitors and new strategies for the use of current antimicrobial agents, coupled with re-colonization. There is a problem that the news media need to address so that an informed public can insist on using the knowledge we have and can acquire to control antibiotic reasistnce. The picture is not grim, but cautionary.
