Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant economic and health impact worldwide. It also reinforced the misperception that only viruses can pose a threat to human existence, overlooking that bacteria (e.g., plague and cholera) have severely haunted and shaped the course of human civilization. While the world is preparing for the next viral pandemic, it is again overlooking a silent one: antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This review proposes to show the impact of bacterial infections on civilization to remind the pandemic potential. The work will also discuss a few examples of how bacteria can mutate risking global spread and devastating outcomes, the effect on the global burden, and the prophylactic and therapeutic measures. Indeed, AMR is dramatically increasing and if the trend is not reversed, it has the potential to quickly turn into the most important health problem worldwide.

被忽视的细菌大流行
COVID-19 大流行对全世界的经济和健康产生了重大影响。它还加深了人们的错误认识,即只有病毒才会对人类生存构成威胁,而忽视了细菌(如鼠疫和霍乱)也严重困扰和塑造了人类文明的进程。当全世界都在为下一次病毒大流行做准备时,却再次忽略了一个无声的流行病:抗菌药耐药性(AMR)。本综述旨在展示细菌感染对人类文明的影响,提醒人们注意大流行病的潜在可能。这项工作还将讨论几个例子,说明细菌如何发生变异,导致全球传播和破坏性后果的风险、对全球负担的影响以及预防和治疗措施。事实上,AMR 正在急剧增加,如果不扭转这一趋势,它有可能迅速成为全球最重要的健康问题。
