Antibiotic control in times of COVID-19

Abstract

En lo que va de la pandemia del COVID-19, se observa un incremento en el uso de antibióticos, siendo probablemente una de las principales razones la incertidumbre que existe respecto al arsenal terapéutico contra SARS-CoV-2 y la discontinuidad de los programas de control de antibióticos. Según la Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS), las infecciones por gérmenes resistentes causan, al menos, 700 000 muertes al año en todo el mundo, y si no se toman las medidas necesarias a futuro, las muertes podrían aumentar a 10 millones para el 2050.
