WHO found 12 dangerous bacterias

Geneva, March 1: The World Health Organization has identified its first ever list of antibiotic-resistant "priority pathogens" on Tuesday, which serves as the greatest threats to human health. These are naming 12 of the bacterial families that pose the highest risk.WHO says that, we need to step up the fight against a dozen bacteria that are growing resistant to all the antibiotics we have to treat them.There is an urgent need for drugmakers to develop new antibiotics to fight the bacterial threats.Doctors have been warning about the threat posed by antibiotic resistance for years, and it seems that many of these fears are slowly unfolding. The list highlights gram-negative bacteria, a group that contains the more familiar E.coli, in particular, as some of these have become resistant to multiple antibiotics, including some of those most commonly used.The WHO are concerned that if little is done to alleviate this issue, standard procedures, such as C-sections, and people with compromised immune systems, like those undergoing chemotherapy and the elderly, could be at an increased risk of catching untreatable infections.The point of the list, the WHO insists, is not to scare people or cause panic, but to highlight the bacteria most in need of increased research.The bacteria that make the list are not prevalent enough to garner the attention of the big pharmaceutical companies to have much of an interest in, but they stress that they should become priorities for governments and health agencies to make sure the drugs exist to treat them before they become a more serious problem.
