Germs in the World The Invulnerability

Medication assistance from rich countries continue to flood the
poor countries struggling to cope
with disease outbreaks. On the
other hand, easy access to antibiotics and antiviral trigger a global increase in bacterial resistance.

Effects, millions of children in developing countries die every year because the old drugs no longer able to cope with fever, tuberculosis
(TB), AIDS and other diseases. In addition, assistance for the procurement of new drugs to
swell up to U.S. $ 1.5 billion since 2006.

Reuters, Wednesday (16 / 6), a non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) in the U.S., the Center for Global Development blamed the lack of attention from developed countries against the risk of resistance as a trigger. Assistance provided is often considered excessive.
"Resistenti drugs on germs is natural, but the lack of attention from the supplier of the drug can
accelerate it," said Rachel Nugent, head of the NGO.

In recent years, Nugent noted poor countries access to retroviral drugs for HIV / AIDS increased 10-fold. Increased access to antimalarial
drugs in the eight-fold, whereas for anti-TB increment is greater.
While the research proves, there are close linkages between the availability of drugs in an area with a risk of bacterial resistance. One
example, in countries with the highest levels of antibiotic use, 75-90 percent of Streptococcus
pneumoniae bacteria become resistant to methicillin.

Resistance or immunity to the drug occurs when the medication is still leaving at least one living microbe. This remaining microbes then will
mutate, and breed themselves as resistant microbes.
In addition to the availability factor, Nugent also pointed to other factors that trigger resistance.
Among the poor quality of drugs, counterfeit drugs, and also the treatment is not exhaustive.
