Ethics and antibiotic resistance

Euzebiusz Jamrozik et al.

Summary: The translation discusses the ethical issues surrounding antibiotic resistance, including patient responsibility in completing antibiotic courses, the tragedy of the commons, and global antibiotic stewardship. Existing analyses have limitations and more complex analyses are needed to focus on neglected topics such as the harms of antibiotic use and impacts on the human microbiome. Areas for future research include developing evidence-based guidelines for antibiotic prescription decisions.

The Production of Antibiotics Must Be Reoriented: Repositioning Old Narrow-Spectrum Antibiotics, Developing New Microbiome-Sparing Antibiotics

Sylvain Diamantis et al.

Summary: The development of broad-spectrum antibiotics to control multidrug-resistant bacteria is outdated. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics should be promoted instead, through repurposing old antibiotics and developing new ones with low ecological impact. These antibiotics can be used for common conditions, effectively controlling antibiotic resistance and benefiting governments economically.
