In Europe, antibiotics are not over-the-counter available, however, in most other parts of the world this unfortunately is the case. This means that a lot of people take antibiotics even if they have a simple cold or hay fever. Doctors also need to be selective when it comes to prescribing antibiotics and think about future patients who will potentially need antibiotics for more serious infections. If the widespread over-use of antibiotics continues, then our children and the future generations will not be able to take effective antibiotics. Even simple infections could become life-threatening.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c6262d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c6262d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><em>What is the expected impact of the work you\u2019re doing?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8d8aa4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8d8aa4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At the Diagnostic Microbiology Services of the University Hospital, we perform molecular testing for multi-resistant organisms, often genome-sequence based.

I advocate for providing funding to all hospitals so that they can perform this testing as well. Our National Center of Epidemiology carries out these tests, but the turnover time is long. When hospitals can do these tests immediately themselves, actions can be taken faster in order to control hospital infections.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-196f6d7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"196f6d7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><em>One of the aims of VALUE-Dx is to demonstrate the value of diagnostics to change the antibiotics prescribing behaviour.

Due to the Ukrainian refugees, there is also a rising problem of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella in the East of the country which is slowly spreading to the centre of Hungary. These are not the only resistance issues we face, so there is a strong need to further take serious infection control measures, and other actions, i.e. broadening the use of antimicrobial stewardship.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-662044e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"662044e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><em>Are there any antibiotic resistance awareness campaigns towards the general public? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c6572f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c6572f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Only during the World Antibiotic Awareness Week in November each year, but besides that no. There is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to educating the general public. However, another important factor is convincing insurance companies and national bodies to provide financing for diagnostic testing. In most cases, these tests cost more than running the actual antibiotic course. Governments should promote the use of point-of-care tests, which are available and quick, and benefit the antibiotic prescribing rates. If diagnostics can be done more accurately, this will also have a positive effect on the stay of patients in the ICU.
