Opinion: Why Aren't We Asking Where Antibiotic Resistance Comes From?

Original: Opinion | We Keep Treating Resistant Infections. We Rarely Ask Where the Resistance Came From.

An opinion piece in MedPage Today argues that doctors and health systems focus almost entirely on treating antibiotic-resistant infections while rarely investigating the origins of the resistance itself. The author suggests the medical conversation should shift toward tracing how resistance emerges and spreads, not just managing its consequences in patients.

Why now: Growing concern over antimicrobial resistance is prompting debate about prevention versus treatment.
