Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the twenty-first century's major health challenges. Linked to the extensive use of antibiotics and other antimicrobials, resistance occurs when microbes stop responding to medications. Rates of antibiotic consumption in Spain are among the highest in Europe. Drawing on research conducted in Catalonia, in this article we present findings from ethnographic fieldwork and semi-structured interviews with general practitioners, residents of Barcelona, and professionals who have worked in antibiotic stewardship. We argue that the circulation of antibiotics should be understood in relation to broader historical processes and the deficient systems of health and social care provision they have produced.

加泰罗尼亚初级保健中的抗生素：护理危机的处方、使用和补救措施。

抗微生物耐药性是二十一世纪的主要健康挑战之一。与抗生素和其他抗菌药物的广泛使用有关，当微生物对药物停止反应时，就会产生耐药性。西班牙的抗生素消费率是欧洲最高的。在这篇文章中，我们借鉴了在加泰罗尼亚进行的研究，介绍了民族志实地调查和对全科医生、巴塞罗那居民和从事抗生素管理的专业人员的半结构化采访的结果。我们认为，抗生素的流通应该与更广泛的历史过程以及它们所产生的卫生和社会护理系统的缺陷联系起来理解。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
