Resistance in bacteria affecting health systems
Health | Jalisco Health Secretariat | Alfonso Petersen Farah

Jaime Alfonso Petersen and Agust?n Gonz?lez held yesterday World Health Day. S. NUNEZ
Self-medication, the main problem
Petersen Farah called on health professionals, to have more training and information on antimicrobial resistance

GUADALAJARA, JALISCO (08/ABR/2011) .- The resistance of disease-causing bacteria, which over the years has been increasing, represents one of the major obstacles of health systems.

Microorganisms are not affected in the same way with antibiotics that were previously sensitive, so they have created resistance and to remove them, should make use of stronger drugs, which have a higher cost to the health sector.

Yesterday, we celebrated World Health Day and the movement of this year by the World Health Organization ( WHO ), aims at the performance of doctors in this matter, under the motto "If we do not act now , there is no cure tomorrow. "

"The economic aspect is very important. Earlier today we treated with antibiotics that have a value for sale to the public sector of eight dollars, I have to be treated with antibiotics that cost more than 10 thousand pesos, "says the secretary of health in Jalisco, Alfonso Petersen Farah .

The ability of microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria, to neutralize the effect of antibiotics is increasing, due to its constant mutations.

Self-medication by the population, piecework and buy antibiotics without medical examination and erroneous prescriptions of antibiotics when not needed, allowing bacteria, viruses or fungi, to become immune to certain drugs.

Petersen Farah called on health professionals, to have more training and information on antimicrobial resistance, not to prescribe antibiotics in an irrational way.
