Whenever antibiotic resistance is posed as an environmental problem, it shouldn't be centered only in the hospital setting. The use given to antibiotics must also be considered because it might be extended to the surrounding environment or, simply it might be originated in external surroundings and migrate to the hospital setting. For this reason, the inter-specific relationships which characterize our planet must be taken into consideration, as well as the human relationships with microorganisms, recognizing their essential role in the maintenance of the medical and pharmaceutical activity, which has generated the sensibility and resistance of different pathogens through the use of antibiotics. The resistance of microorganisms is hopeless. From the clinic and practical experience, more and more a greater increase in the antibiotic resistance is observed which causes difficulty in the implementation of an adequate treatment. Few strategies aimed to the control of this problem are really working presently.

Palabras clave : Antibiotics; bacterial resistance and sensitivity; infections; antibiogram; man; society.
