Parents 1: "This is so scary that the whole person lives in insecurity. I feel so nervous that I can't rest assured of eating anything. " Parent 2: "I feel terrible when I hear this. I want to ask, where did the ingredients of this antibiotic come from? "
Teacher Zhu from the School of Public Health of Fudan University in Shanghai said that the existing research results are only in stages.
Teacher Zhu: "This (formal paper) is a little academic, the writing is a little different, and the content is basically the same."
The researchers found that tylosin, chlortetracycline and enrofloxacin were antibiotics limited to livestock and poultry, but they were all detected in children. In other words, not only clinical treatment, but also environment and food may become important sources of exposure to antibiotics. Therefore, scholars suspect that tetracyclines and quinolones appear in children's urine, mainly because water or food is polluted.
Please listen to the news broadcast later for details.
Recently, Fudan University's urine test research on more than 000 children in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai 1000 showed that 58% of them detected 1 antibiotics, and 1/4 detected more than two antibiotics. Some samples even have 6 kinds of antibiotics, and some antibiotics are commonly used in animal husbandry. The World Health Organization (WHO) has released a report that antibiotic-resistant bacteria are spreading all over the world. (Reference message April 17)
Antibiotic resistance, like bad smog weather, will gradually evolve into an environmental crisis, threatening everyone. Improper use of drugs causes and intensifies the changes of microorganisms such as bacteria, which eventually leads to the failure of drugs used to treat infections, which is the source of antibiotic resistance.
In animal husbandry, the widespread use of antibiotics will lead to antibiotic resistance. After the spread of antibiotic resistance in livestock, it will spread among people through food-borne diseases and other infection routes. A typical example is the detection of antibiotics commonly used in animal husbandry in children's urine. Improper use of drugs in the human body can also cause antibiotic resistance. Researchers believe that the clinical use of antibiotics, self-administration and antibiotic pollution in the environment, drinking water and food are the main sources of antibiotics in the body.
Perhaps, in China, no one knows more about antibiotic resistance than pediatricians. In view of the seasonal phenomenon of "hanging bottle forest" in children's hospitals, the media often criticize doctors for abusing infusion antibiotics. But this may not be a complete fact, because bacterial resistance will further escalate the use of antibiotics. But just like the question of which comes first, hens or eggs, it is not clear whether there is antibiotic resistance or abuse by doctors first. It is important that doctors should not "abuse" bacteria after they develop drug resistance. In a society where the problem of antibiotic resistance is becoming more and more serious, it is almost impossible to control the "widespread use" of antibiotics only by doctors.
The problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health and safety problem. First of all, the government needs to formulate and issue policies on monitoring, management, prevention and information dissemination at the national level. Secondly, social institutions and people can effectively change the whole unfavorable situation through self-change and self-adjustment. (Source: Peninsula Network-peninsula metropolis daily)
