The New Threat of Antibiotic Resistance
Without urgent and fast change, antimicrobial resistance will continue to become one of the biggest global health risks that the world has ever seen.
The discovery of penicillin, humankind’s first antibiotic, in 1928, welcomed a new age of global healthcare. Since then, only a limited number of antibiotics have been produced with the latest type synthesized in 1980. Despite half of the antibiotics prescribed today considered unnecessary by the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, global antibiotics use is expected to see a 67% rise by 2030. Profound and unnecessary overuse has led to a growing resistance against even our strongest antibiotics.
The risks are clear – a return to the dark ages of medicine where currently treatable conditions such as pneumonia and tuberculosis become deadly once again. According to the Chair of Antimicrobial Resistance, over 700,000 people die every year from antimicrobial resistance. Allowed to continue unabated, this dangerous phenomenon is expected to cause 50 million deaths per year by 2050 and cost the world $100 trillion in lost economic output. That’s more deadly than cancer!
Most concerning of all was the discovery of a brand new form of resistance to one of humankind’s strongest and last-chance antibiotics – colistin. Caused by the pervasive use of this antibiotic in agriculture – it has been given to livestock for years – humanity’s last line of defense against superbugs has now been compromised!
We must realize that antibiotics overuse is risking lives around the world. Instead of using these life saving drugs on our animals, neem can be used as a natural alternative. Containing essential nutrients such as protein, calcium and carotene required for healthy growth in livestock, with the ability to eradicate microbes that cause infections and disease, neem helps to fight bacteria and alleviates the pressure of rising antibiotic resistance.
