- Common infections— including colds, most cases of bronchitis, many sinus infections, and some ear infections—are caused by viruses and will not be helped by antibiotics.
- Overuse of antibiotics leads to antibiotic-resistant infections, which are, unfortunately, on the rise. Last year alone, 23,000 people died in the U.S. from antibiotic-resistant infections.
Because there is little on the horizon with new antibiotic development, we all need to choose wisely with the antibiotics we have now— to make sure these remain effective into the future.
