World Health Organization (WHO) said many people still lack knowledge about antibiotic resistance, they do not understand the implications and its impact on human beings. Though experts have warned of the dangers of antibiotic resistance in many decades, how to develop and the people need to do to fight it, but many people are still not aware of this.
Keiji Fukuda, said Dr, WHO has recently conducted a survey of 10,000 people from 12 different countries on the issue of antibiotic resistance. And the results show a large number of people are not aware of this situation.
Not only that, 76% of those surveyed said that antibiotics can be used to treat colds and flu, despite the fact it has no effect on the virus. About 1/3 of the respondents said they would stop using antibiotics when feeling better and not used up the therapeutic dose.
According Margaret Chan (General Manager WHO), the rise of antibiotic resistance risk becoming a global crisis. That is one of the biggest threats to the health of mankind today. The main problem makes some kinds of infections takes more time and more expensive to treat.

Center for Control and Prevention of Diseases reports that each year more than 2 million people infected by drug-resistant bacteria and 23,000 people have died because of this problem.
Some causes of this situation is due to people taking antibiotics to treat the infection but does not work; mutation and natural evolution; the widespread use of antibiotics for fattening animals.
An expert at the American Academy of Pediatrics, said: "In 2012, about 80% of the total quantity of antibiotics sold in the US for animal use. And about 60% are considered important for human health.
When healthy animals, they were given antibiotics with low concentrations, bacterial drug resistance will develop in the body. And bacteria can penetrate into the human body through different pathways.
Bacterial resistance can be transmitted from animals to distribution, waste water, or some other environmental factor enabling the pathogen. Animal manure can contaminate food when feces containing antimicrobial germ is used as fertilizer, then it will leach into food and human impact. "
"Not only that, if the dress fishpond near where animal husbandry is also easy to be affected by drug-resistant bacteria through the wastewater effluent from pens to fish farming. Therefore, drug-resistant bacteria in food growing and causing infections in humans, especially children under 5 years old ", representatives of the American Academy of Pediatrics said.
