Go to the following link to read the article: http://eebweb.arizona.edu/Courses/Ecol409_509/levy.pdf.) Based on the information you received from the article and what you have learned about microbial resistance from your text book, discuss the following in two paragraphs (a paragraph should be minimum of five sentences).

Prompts:

Factors, processes and mechanisms involved in antimicrobial resistance (first paragraph)
What can be done to reduce antimicrobial resistance? (2nd paragraph)

Antimicrobial resistance

 

Antimicrobial resistance poses a major threat to global health. We are losing the ability to treat and prevent infections as antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis and anti-malarial drugs lose their effectiveness. Economic analysis can support policy discussions about antimicrobial resistance. Imagine you are an economic advisor at the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care. You have been tasked to produce a policy proposal that addresses the challenge of antimicrobial resistance. Draw from the economic ideas covered in this module to develop your policy proposal.
