Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a public health issue that requires integrated approaches such as discovering new antibiotics and improving diagnostic tools and antibiotic stewardship. Vaccines are an important tool in fighting against bacterial antibiotic resistance by preventing infections and reducing the need for antibiotics.
Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a public health issue. It means that drugs become ineffective, infections persist and have a huge impact on the health of patients and their spreading increases. To address a complex threat such as bacterial antibiotic resistance different and integrated approaches are needed including discovery of new antibiotics, improvement of diagnostics tools and improvement of antibiotic stewardship. Absolutely relevant are prevention of infections as well as decrease in the use of antibiotics. Vaccines are an important tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance and can help prevent it in several ways. Indeed, vaccines are highly effective in preventing diseases that might otherwise require the use of antibiotics to treat symptoms and associated complications. Preventing infections through vaccination helps reduce the need for and widespread and inappropriate use of antibiotics, including for secondary bacterial infections.
