Moreover, micro-organisms are increasingly multiresistant, which means that they develop resistance to several classes of antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A major factor in this development is the over-frequent and inappropriate use of antibiotics in human and also veterinary medicine for example animal husbandry. The urgency of this global problem is being recognised increasingly in the public and the private sector, and the pharmaceutical industry is also redoubling its efforts to counter growing antibiotic resistance by developing new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategy-on-antibiotic-resistance-switzerland-star\"><strong>Strategy on Antibiotic\nResistance Switzerland (StAR)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Strategy on Antibiotic Resistance Switzerland (StAR) launched in 2015 has adopted measures on several levels with the aim of sustainably safeguarding the efficacy of antibiotics for the treatment of humans and animals. These measures include promotion of the correct use of antibiotics, infection prevention in hospitals, monitoring of resistance and antibiotic consumption, the promotion of research, knowledge transfer and raising awareness in the population at large. Initial success has already become evident, such as the establishment of uniform prescribing guidelines valid throughout Switzerland. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.star.admin.ch\/star\/en\/home\/strategiestar\/aktionsplan-star.html\">One Health Action Plan 2024\u20132027 StAR<\/a> is intended to comprehensively strengthen the implementation of the StAR strategy with binding, innovative and sustainable measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-interpharma-advocates-incentives-for-the-research-and-development-of-new-antibiotics\">Interpharma advocates incentives for the research and development of new antibiotics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alongside incentives for research, market incentives are equally important.

When setting prices, therefore, consideration should be given not only to the value for patients, but also to the societal value, i.e., ensuring the availability of new antibiotics as reserve medication for the treatment of multi-resistant germs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The process for setting tariffs and prices for new antibiotics needs to be simplified and accelerated.
