We should look to nature as a way to prevent AR. Our bodies are designed to use the energy of the sun to produce hydrogen peroxide through photo-oxidation to kill bacteria and viruses. Pioneering products like UV-Aid by UV Technologies, LLC out of Fort Myers, Florida have not received the support or attention they deserve as the possibility that one day bacteria will have become so resistant to drugs that antibiotics will no longer be effective.
