00:02The Lancet, one of the most important newspapers, recently published a study that determined
00:07that the resistance to antibiotics was the direct responsible for more than 1,2 million
00:12of deaths in 2019, and also, would be related to 4,95 million of additional deaths.
00:19With this investigation, the resistance to antibiotics became one of the main causes of
00:23deaths in the world above the VIH and malaria, which in 2019 caused 860.000 and 640.000
00:30deaths respectively.
00:33The investigation, which was done in 204 countries, announced that more than 1,27 million
00:37of people were directly from bacteria, resistant to antibiotics.
00:43The study also mentions that this is another great percentage of the deaths related to global
00:47is a product of common infections that before were treatable and now now have mutated and
00:52become resistant to the treatments.
00:55The resistance to the pharmacists is called the resistance to the antimicrobials, RAM, and
01:00is presented when bacteria, virus, hongos and parásitos vary throughout the time and
01:04dejan to respond to the medications.
01:07This causes that the infections are more difficult to treat, the diseases spread more and
01:11mutated in ways, reaching to cause, even, the death.
01:15The study says that three infectious diseases dominated the deaths associated with the resistance
01:19of the medications, which, sumados, represent the 78,8% of the muertes for this cause.
01:26The infections are the most deaths in this group, for example, the pneumonia, a disease that
01:32suele be treatable, caused more than 400.000 deaths related to this disease.
01:37In second place, the infections in the blood, which are difficult to treat when the microbial
01:41already has the resistance to the medications and can result in failure of other organs, caused
01:46cerca de 370.000 muertes.
01:49In third place, are the infections intra-abdominales, so common as the appendicitis, which, with
01:53the resistance to the medications, has caused more than 210.000 deaths.
01:58The use of discriminated medications such as the cefalexina and the amoxicilina, which
02:02are part of the beta-lactamics, and other medications such as the fluoroquinolones, is the
02:07cause of the resistance to drugs, which commonly used to treat diseases in the hospital, causing
02:13the 70% of these deaths.
02:15Another important data in the investigation is that the children between 1 and 5 are more
02:20likely to suffer resistance to the medications, causing 1 of every 5 deaths attributed to this.
02:25Also, in the countries of low and medium income, the rates of death for this cause were
02:30more high, which makes it not a problem of global health, but a particularly grave problem
02:36for some of the most poor countries in the world.
