AMR threatens to unwind a century of medical progress, potentially returning us to a pre-antibiotic era, where treatable infections may become dangerous or deadly.
In low- and middle-income countries, about 11% of people undergoing surgery become infected, highlighting the acute risks associated with antimicrobial resistance.
AMR's devastating impact falls heaviest on low- and middle-income countries, due to factors such as insufficient healthcare infrastructure, limited budgets, and lack of enforcement of health regulations.
The crisis involves not only the misuse and overuse of antibiotics but also the alarming lack of access to essential medicines and diagnostics in LMICs.
