Climate change is driven primarily by humanity's use of fossil fuels and the resultant greenhouse gases from their combustion. The effects of climate change on human health are myriad and becomingly increasingly severe as the pace of climate change accelerates. One relatively underreported intersection between health and climate change is that of infections, particularly antibiotic-resistant infections. In this perspective review, the aspects of climate change that have already, will, and could possibly impact the proliferation and dissemination of antibiotic resistance are discussed.
气候变化主要是由人类使用化石燃料以及燃烧化石燃料产生的温室气体所驱动的。随着气候变化速度的加快,气候变化对人类健康的影响是多方面的,而且日益严重。健康与气候变化之间一个相对较少被报道的交叉领域是感染,尤其是抗生素耐药性感染。在这篇观点综述中,我们讨论了气候变化已经、将会以及可能影响抗生素耐药性的扩散和传播的各个方面。
