It's called "preventative medicine". 

As with HIV, the problem is in the potential rather than the current
state of the crisis. The problem of rampant overuse of antibiotics 
throughout the developing world and the corresponding emergence of 
bacterial resistance can hardly be overstated. We are lucky to have 
what little public attention for this issue as has been allowed.
