"Antimicrobial resistance refers to the inability of some antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics, to work effectively on organisms, including bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms, which had previously been sensitive to them, as these micro-organisms have developed a resistance. Antimicrobial resistance has become a threat to public health in Europe and globally, resulting in longer, more complicated treatments, and in the growing risk that the organisms will not respond, with potentially fatal consequences: 25 000 people die each year in the EU from infections caused by resistant micro-organisms. This means action needs to be taken at global level as a matter of urgency, in terms of the more prudent prescription and use of antimicrobial agents, ensuring that these treatments are only followed when they are in fact necessary, and in terms of promoting the research and development of new antimicrobial agents, in conjunction with the pharmaceutical industry, as a way of treating patients infected with resistant micro-organisms."@en1
