Addressing the overuse and misuse of antibiotics requires a multi-faceted approach:
1. Education: Increasing awareness among both healthcare providers and the public about the appropriate use of antibiotics. 2. Stewardship Programs: Implementing antibiotic stewardship programs in healthcare settings to optimize the use of antibiotics. 3. Regulation: Enforcing regulations to limit the use of antibiotics in agriculture. 4. Surveillance: Enhancing surveillance systems to monitor antibiotic use and resistance patterns.
