The problem of antimicrobial resistance is so dire that people are predicting that the era of antibiotics may be coming to an end, ushering in a 'post-antibiotic' era. A comprehensive policy response is therefore urgently needed. A part of this response will require framing the problem in such a way that adequately reflects its nature as well as encompassing an approach that has the best prospect of success. This paper considers framing the problem as a slowly emerging disaster, including its potential benefits and difficulties, from a conceptual and policy perspective.
抗菌耐药性问题十分严峻，以至于人们预测抗生素时代可能即将结束，从而迎来一个“后抗生素”时代。因此，迫切需要出台全面的政策应对措施。这种应对措施的一部分将要求以一种能够充分反映问题本质并包含最具成功前景方法的方式来界定该问题。本文从概念和政策角度考虑将该问题界定为一场缓慢浮现的灾难，包括其潜在益处和困难。
