Strategies to reduce antibiotics risk
7
Six strategies to mitigate risk of antibiotics becoming less effective:
1. Improve sanitation and immunization2. Improve hospital infection control and antibiotic stewardship3. Change incentive structure to favor effective antibiotic use4. Reduce and eventually eliminate sub-therapeutic antibiotic use in
agriculture5. Educate health professionals, policy makers, and the public on
sustainable antibiotic use6. Rally political commitments to meet rising risks of antibiotic
resistance

Conclusions
17
• The greater the volume of antibiotics used, the greater the chances that antibiotic-resistant populations of bacteria will prevail in the contest for survival of the fittest at the bacterial level• The antibiotic pipeline is innovative; however, needs help from
public policy to readjust incentives• New antibiotics must be affordable in lower-income countries as
well in high-income countries• Other approaches to infection control and treatment will also help
maintain the effectiveness of current and emerging antibiotics• A balanced approach focusing on antibiotics development and
vaccines (for both humans and animals), diagnostic technologies, and complementary and alternative technologies, such as bacteriophages.
