Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a silent killer, is predicted to claim the lives of nearly 40 million people over the next 25 years. This global analysis, the first of its kind to track the impact of superbugs over time, reveals a disturbing trend: while AMR deaths among young children have decreased due to improved sanitation and immunizations, deaths among older adults have drastically increased. The study highlights the urgent need for global action to combat this growing threat.
The world is grappling with the rising threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a silent pandemic that has already claimed millions of lives. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to combat this crisis, aiming to restore the effectiveness of existing antibiotics and develop new treatments. This article explores the mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance, the challenges it poses, and the promising strategies being developed to fight back.
