Scientists are urging people to use probiotics and other antimicrobials for more common spread illnesses. An antibiotic resistance is causing sepsis and other more serious diseases to become fatal. If doctors prescribed non antibiotic medicines for sinus, ear and other mild infections then antibiotics would be stronger against the fight of serious illness in which we have no other medicines. There are over 20,000 people dying because of antibiotic resistance every year and we can prevent this with the use of probiotics.
Key Takeaways:
- Antibiotic resistance contributes to 20000 deaths in the US each year.
- Using probiotics and antimicrobials for milder infections like ear infections, tonsilitis and bronchitis would free up antibiotics for more severe infections.
- Researchers say using probiotics and antmicrobials could slow the emergence and development of resistant organisms.
“Antibiotic resistance could be reduced by using probiotics for milder infections such as sore throats while keeping heavy duty drugs for serious illnesses, according to US experts.”
