美國健康網(wǎng)站發(fā)布抗生素報告

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊   據(jù)外媒報道，濫用抗生素會導(dǎo)致超級細(xì)菌MRSA的蔓延。對此美國保健網(wǎng)站HealthDay整理了美國家庭醫(yī)師學(xué)會（American Academy of Family Physicians）有關(guān)抗生素的報告。

    抗生素是用來治療細(xì)菌以及某些霉菌、寄生蟲的感染，而不是用來治療像感冒、流感這些由病毒所引起的疾病。由于抗生素的藥性很強，所以雖然它現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)相當(dāng)普及，但仍需經(jīng)醫(yī)師處方才可取得。

    部分原文報道如下：

    Antibiotics are useful drugs, and there's no question that they have saved many lives. For example, 90 percent of children who developed bacterial meningitis used to die before the development of antibiotics. Strep throat was also sometimes a fatal disease. This is rarely the case today thanks to antibiotics.

    However, antibiotics have led to some concerns in recent decades, and that's because of the development of strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In some cases, the development of these bacteria can be tied directly to the overuse of antibiotics, as well as antibiotics being prescribed incorrectly. These bacteria can be dangerous because the typical medication to treat them may no longer be effective. In many instances, though, an alternative antibiotic may be helpful in ending the bacterial infection. The situation with antibiotic resistance has been improving thanks to health care providers cutting back on unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions （such as for viral infections like the cold and flu）。
