The resistance of bacteria, fungi and viruses to antimicrobials is increasing rapidly, with deleterious consequences. Dentistry's role in this development is unclear, because the necessary information has not yet been collected. Nevertheless, dentists should recognize that it is essential to use antimicrobials in an appropriate and responsible manner, both to treat infection effectively, and to minimize the likelihood that the bacteria in the general population will develop resistance to antimicrobials. The purpose of this article is to make dentists aware of the concerns raised by antimicrobial resistance, and how it can be avoided.
细菌、真菌和病毒对抗微生物药物的耐药性正在迅速增加，并产生了有害后果。牙科在这一发展过程中所起的作用尚不清楚，因为尚未收集到必要的信息。然而，牙医应认识到，以适当和负责任的方式使用抗微生物药物至关重要，这既能有效治疗感染，又能将普通人群中的细菌产生抗微生物药物耐药性的可能性降至最低。本文的目的是让牙医意识到抗菌药物耐药性引发的问题以及如何避免这些问题。
