pneumoniaecarbapenemase)
18 infected patients
6 fatalities
complete drug resistance
persistent presence at
NIH center
THE PROBLEM
increased usage leadsto decreased future effectiveness
antibiotics are being used excessively
development of new antibioticsis expensive
finite source of future antibiotics
THE SOLUTION
promote conservative use of antibiotics
incentive to comply
remove barriers to compliance
