wish more doctors realized they sometime do more harm then good, im trying to get rid of UTI using d-mannose a sugar which bacteria eat and is ejected in urine
Every mechanism of antibiotic resistance can be defeated ... in the same way that humans have improved plants for human use with plant breeding [i.e. human manipulated evolution] through observation, selection and testing. It is IMPOSSIBLE to stop antibiotic resistance with regulation, fear and misinformation -- but the is plenty of misinformation on antimicrobial resistance and blaming certain practices. The cure for antibiotic resistance is [accelerating] observation, selection, testing.
@bennemann Well, soaps use mainly the Macrolid "Erythromycin" which is only one type of chemotherapeutic (which is actually what most "antibiotics" are) and therefore we are encouraging resistance to only one of our several types of antibiotics/chemotherapeutics. What does more damage is over prescribing antibiotics!
@streatlightbmx Since I posted the comment I have asked my Microbiology teacher about those soaps, she said they use chemical methods rather than antibiotics and thus aren't all that dangerous for microbial resistance. By the same coin, they don't kill much as well (she said around 5%), while commercials claim to kill 99%, or worse still, prevent 80% of diseases (Dettol)!
@bennemann Yeah I guess I should have specified "antimicrobial soaps" tend to use Erythromycin, it's also found in bacitracin and Neosporin. But she's certainly correct, the manufacturers claims are always a bit a skewed.

Policy cannot stop antimicrobial resistance ... policy is an employment program for people who do not add value.

And yet soaps with antimicrobial substances are still sold indiscriminately.
