Prescribing antibiotics for illnesses represents a significant misuse of medicine, as these drugs cannot kill viruses.
Given the limited pipeline for new antibiotics, there is a pressing need for innovative research. Organizations like the Global Antibiotic Research and Development Partnership (GARDP) are investing in research and development of new antibiotics and alternative therapies. Collaborative efforts between governments, healthcare institutions, and pharmaceutical companies are crucial to overcome financial and regulatory challenges.

Without coordinated global action, antibiotic resistance will continue to escalate, undermining modern medicine and causing substantial human and economic costs. Effective responses require combining prudent antibiotic use, stronger surveillance, better infection control, agricultural reform, and investment in new treatments—implemented equitably across nations.
To create this, I need to gather information on the topic of antibiotic resistance, including its global threat, causes, consequences, and potential solutions. I should also find specific IELTS reading materials on this topic. I'll search for relevant articles, reading passages, and answer keys. search results show several relevant pages. I need to open the most promising ones to gather detailed information. search results provide a variety of materials. Some pages contain reading passages and questions, while others provide general information on the topic. I need to synthesize this information into a long article. The article should be structured with an introduction, background on antibiotics and resistance, global threat statistics, mechanisms of resistance, contributing factors (like misuse and agricultural overuse), consequences (health and economic), global initiatives, and a conclusion. It should also include a section with IELTS reading answers. I'll write the article, citing relevant sources.The Growing Global Threat of Antibiotic Resistance** Try again later
