Health officials say there is no sign of slowing the spread of super-bacteria, the antimicrobial resistance in Europe, which could make it harder to treat food poisoning and other infections.
"This will make the alarm sound in the region," said Vitienne Andriukaitis, EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, after publishing data on increased antimicrobial resistance.
"The report published today ... shows that we are entering a world in which treating more and more common diseases is difficult and sometimes impossible," Andriukaitis said in a statement.
Drug resistance develops through the misuse or overuse of antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs, which encourages bacteria to develop in order to survive by finding new ways to overcome the drug.
The report of the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the European Food Safety Authority analyzed the 2017 data for antimicrobial resistance collected from the 28 countries of the bloc.
The report concluded that resistance to bacteria known as Campilobacter and can infect humans with food poisoning of an antibiotic is severe in some countries to the extent that these drugs are no longer effective in the treatment of serious cases.
Most countries have said that human salmonella resistance to fluoroquinolone is increasing and that three or more antimicrobial resistance is severe in salmonella that affects humans and animals.
