Superbugs* are visible manifestations of our prolonged failure to preserve antibiotics

** Methicillin resistant Staph aureus, MDR-and XDR Mycobacteria, ESBL producing Gram negative bacteria and NDM-1 producing enterobacteriaceae bacteria are few examples of superbugs because these fail to respond to large number of commonly used

antibiotics

Known but neglected. Need immediate action

Known but inevitable

We need to preserve this resource by

Possible solutionsDiscover new drugs faster than

emergence of resistanceRationalize the use of available

antimicrobial agentsPrevent emergence of resistance by

reducing selection pressure by appropriate control measures

Promote discovery, development and dissemination of new antimicrobial agents

Implementation requires a strategy with comprehensive national initiatives/plans
