The Growing burden of antibiotic resistant infections

Antibiotic-resistant infections are a growing menace in the world today with a lot of experts  
describing it as the “hidden” pandemic. In low income countries, where laws against antibiotics usage are practically non-existent,  
individuals can access antibiotics without a valid prescription from a health care worker. This  
eases accessibility to antibiotics and promotes use by all and sundry, who are not informed  
about the various types of antibiotics and the diseases each antibiotic is designed to tackle.
