"Antimicrobial resistance is a growing public health threat in Europe and the rest of the world, in spite of the measures adopted at EU and international level. The fight against resistance to microbial agents in human medicine therefore needs to be intensified. Microbial agents can destroy or prevent the growth of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms, so they play a major role in improving public health and helping to reduce the number of deaths from previously incurable or fatal diseases and infections. However, their use has resulted in certain micro-organisms previously sensitive to these antimicrobial agents developing so-called ‘antimicrobial resistance’. The Commission should propose a legislative framework for this issue, promoting ‘responsible use’ initiatives and supporting the dissemination of, and information about, such initiatives. Only the prudent use of microbial agents, with greater monitoring and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and encouragement of research into the development of alternatives can promote an approach that is able to address this problem."@en1
