Vice-Chancellor, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra state, Prof. Charles Esimone has called on the Federal government to key into the global fight against microbes to sustain the efficacy of available antimicrobials in order to curb the spread of ESBL-producing pathogen.
He regretted that microorganisms have killed billions of men over the centuries, underscoring the need to exploit microbes, which, he said, were originally created to add diversity to life, help man in his quest for longevity as well as to create wealth and enrich his food via fermentation. Esimone, professor of Bio-pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutical Microbiology, recommended the development of effective vaccines more than any therapeutic agents; new presentation formats for drugs to replace the currently used bitter and sometimes nauseating medicines as well as using herbal drinks to replace herbal drugs.
