This will leave a void that cannot be filled.
"Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective and infections become difficult or impossible to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, disability and death.
AMR is a natural process that happens over time through genetic changes in pathogens. Its emergence and spread is accelerated by human activity, mainly the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials to treat, prevent or control infections in humans, animals and plants.
Key facts
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top global public health and development threats. It is estimated that bacterial AMR was directly responsible for 1.27 million global deaths in 2019 and contributed to 4.95 million deaths (1).
- The misuse and overuse of antimicrobials in humans, animals and plants are the main drivers in the development of drug-resistant pathogens.
- AMR affects countries in all regions and at all income levels. Its drivers and consequences are exacerbated by poverty and inequality, and low- and middle-income countries are most affected.
- AMR puts many of the gains of modern medicine at risk. It makes infections harder to treat and makes other medical procedures and treatments – such as surgery, caesarean sections and cancer chemotherapy – much riskier. "

I have plenty of antibiotics on hand for my birds and they have come in handy when needed.
The focus here is antibiotics but alot of folks forget about anti-fungals, especially if you live in a warm moist/humid environment like we do.
I have on hand Nystatin, Acidified Copper Sulfate, Fluconazole, Epsom Salts, Blu-Kote.
Acidified Copper Sulfate is probably the best for wiping out internal fungal infections. It takes time and patience and can be a slow process depending where the infection is internally located in the chicken, usually in multiple areas internally. Follow on treatment is sometimes needed, that's where Epsom Salts comes into play. You must also provide probiotics after using Acidified Copper Sulfate.
Some fungal infections are localized to one bird such as a yeast infection. Other fungal infections are contagious such as Favus, which are infectious to other birds, but also humans. Miconazole treats Favus. Nystatin for Vent Gleet.

good reminder to folks that you're supposed to take your entire prescription for the allotted time, if you stop taking it that can contribute to future antibiotic resistant bacteria, no? I was always told to complete the duration of the script even if felt better a few days in.

I was told the same. To finish the dose.
