Abstract:
The ambiguous diagnosis,the public's insufficient understanding of AMR and improper use of antibiotics in agriculture are the main reasons for accelerating antibiotic resistamce(AMR).At present,the main coping strategies are limited to technical means while lacking ethical consideration.The related ethical issues are,mainly,tensions of personal health interests and public health interests,the conflicts between agricultural development and human health benefits,the distributive justice,inter-generational justice.Understandings and addressing these issues rely on value judgments based on the moral theories.And then it will form an effective and reasonable antibiotic management solution which will help to deal with AMR fundamentally.
