Antibiotics are antimicrobial agents that are only effective against bacteria, which is why they have played an important role in improving public health, because it was possible to use these agents to reduce the number of deaths due to previously incurable or fatal diseases and infections. The increased consumption of antibiotics means that resistance is also on the rise, which has led to a threat to public health worldwide. Another problem is to be found in livestock husbandry, where antibiotics are frequently used, despite their prohibition as growth promoters, which can lead to resistance in human beings.
I abstained from the vote on the resolution because I believe that the public generally needs more information about the consumption of medication. Pharmaceuticals companies in particular should be required to think not just of their own profits, but also of the health of the public at large."@en1
