(Adnkronos) - "Fa piacere che la politica abbia messo problema dell'antibiotico resistenza tra le priorità. Ora serve un piano che preveda un'attribuzione di risorse". Ad affermarlo nel corso del G7 Salute in corso a Bari è stato il Presidente della Società Italiana di Tossicologia Orazio Cantoni.

00:00The problem of the scientific community has been well known for a long time.
00:07It is nice to know that the world of politics has also taken note of it,
00:13that the G7 has put the problem of antibiotic resistance at the center of priority problems.
00:21That said, interventions are necessary.
00:26A discussion that took place today was to make the importance of investments understood,
00:36investments to prevent this problem, which can be somehow faced with a kind of Marshall Plan,
00:45which involves direct attributions, perhaps even to large companies, of resources,
00:52which Professor Rasi has defined as a top-down mechanism with very precise objectives.
00:58Then there are many other strategies that need to be pursued.
01:04It would take a long time to go into detail, but the fundamental problem is that today there are
01:10what are called super-bugs, microorganisms that cannot be neutralized with any drug.
01:17Drugs with innovative mechanisms must be identified,
01:21and only by using this strategy can we obtain them in limited time.
