    THE WAR AGAINST BACTERIA: A HEALTH DISASTER AND HOW TO FIGHT IT (ORIGINAL TITLE: BAKTERIEKRIGEN: OM HELSEKATASTROFEN SOM MOTER OSS OG HVORDAN VI KAN BEKJEMPE DEN)

    Book ID/图书代码: 09794720C00001

    English Summary/英文概要: Antibiotic resistance is an insidious, worldwide epidemic that threatens to destroy the global health system from within. Today, more than 700,000 patients die of antibiotic-resistant bacteria worldwide every year.

    The World Health Organization warns: Without antibiotics, medical science is going to be set back 100 years in time. Not only will we be powerless against treating infections, without antibiotics, even simple surgery becomes impossible. Diseases such as pneumonia, whooping cough, scarlet fever and measles will again be very deadly – yes even cholera and plague can return as global pandemics. By year 2050, 10 million people will be at risk every year. The biggest health disaster the world has seen is right at your doorstep. Yet we hardly ever talk about the threat that surrounds us.

    Huge amounts of antibiotics are used in the agricultural industry to secure cheaper meat for consumers – while research shows how resistant bacteria easily spread from animals to humans, through water, food and soil. But The War against Bacteria is also a fascinating exploration of the opportunities we have for solving the crisis. Erik Martiniussen talks to health care workers in Tromsø, Georgia, Poland about how antibiotic use can be drastically reduced. He visits farmers and agricultural leaders in the UK, Belgium and Norway to learn more about animal husbandry without antibiotics. And he explores the forgotten cures and the new knowledge about the nature of the bacteria that makes it possible to imagine a medicine much less dependent on antibiotics. Maybe the war on bacteria can first be won if we stop looking at it as a war?

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 抗生素抗药性(antibiotic resistance)①是一种隐匿性的全世界范围的流行疾病,有可能从内部摧毁全球卫生系统。今天,世界上有七十万患者每年死于抗药性细菌疾病。 世界卫生组织警告说:没有抗生素,医学将会倒退100年。如果没有抗生素,我们不仅无力治疗感染,就连简单的手术都不能进行。诸如肺炎、百日咳、猩红热和麻疹等疾病将再次成为致命疾病,甚至连霍乱和瘟疫也会成为全球流行疾病而卷土重来。到2050年,每年将有一千万人面临这场风险。世界上最大的健康灾难就在你家眼前。然而,我们却对此不闻不顾。 大量的抗生素被用于农业,以确保消费者能获得更便宜的肉类,而研究表明,抗药性细菌很容易通过水、食物和土壤从动物传播到人类。但《细菌战》也是我们解决危机机会的一次探索。本书的作者Erik Martiniussen在挪威特罗姆瑟,格鲁吉亚,波兰的医护人员谈论如何大幅度减少抗生素的使用。他访问了英国、比利时和挪威的农场主和农业领导干部,了解更多关于没有抗生素的畜牧业方面的知识。他还探索了被遗忘的治疗方法和有关细菌性质新知识,使我们有可能设想一种更少依赖抗生素的药物。如果我们能正视这个问题的话,也许我们能在细菌战中占得先机?

    ①抗生素抗药性(antibioticresistance)是抗药性的一种形式,借此特性,一些微生物亚群体,通常是细菌种,能够在暴露于一或多种抗生素之下得以生存;对多种抗生素具耐药性的病原体被视为具有多重抗药性(multidrugresistant,MDR),或更通俗地称之超级细菌。 抗生素抗药性是当今人类面临的最大挑战之一,青霉素的发现使人们的平均寿命延长了大约20年。一直以来抗生素抗药性是医学和农业所面临的一个巨大问题,所以持续寻找新的抗生素非常重要

    Awards/获奖情况:Dagbladet (6 out of 6):
    "Page-turner about the silent plague. The impressive The War against Bacteria is scary reading, but no dystopia.…He impresses with his clarity, thoroughness and the huge amount of substance – and not at least the linguistic clarity that makes the book easily readable for everyone."

    Aftenposten:
    "Already now in March I can say: This book about bacteria is one of the best of the year!…I bow in the germ-filled dust of writer and journalist Erik Martiniussen and his hunt for bacteria. This is a great book about some of our smallest enemies and friends."

    Stavanger Aftenblad (6 out of 6): "He has written a sober book where the facts speak for themselves. He does this without frightening adjectives but relies on the drama of the material to be strong enough to hold on to the reader. And he approaches his interviewees with an open, curious mind, and with no fixed opinions. The result is natural science research journalism of the highest class."

    Dagens Næringsliv:
    "If you don’t think the corona pandemic is frightening enough, Erik Martiniussen convinces with a highly up-to-date book about the growing danger of resistant bacteria."
