Antibiotic resistance has become one of the top 10 threats to humanity, with projections suggesting it could directly kill over 39 million people in the next 25 years.

Daily medical practice is now confronting infections that existing antibiotics cannot treat, highlighting the severity of an escalating public health crisis.
