The solution is, of course, a socialist/government-driven one. Moving to a single-payer system (like every other industrialized nation has) in the USA would remove the market incentive for doctors to over-prescribe antibiotics. Shifting drug R&D to the public sector - or, at least, creating a significant public-funded drug R&D program, aimed at creating unprofitable-but-needed products - would counter the "profit uber alles" motive of the global drug market. And strong legislation to stop the abuse and overuse of antibiotics by the drug industry and the livestock industry would stop the counterproductive flood of antibiotics into the environment as a whole.
