An estimated 1.27 million deaths globally in 2019 were caused by antibiotic resistance, with a potential association with 4.95 million more, highlighting a critical health crisis.
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria poses a severe challenge, particularly within low- and middle-income countries, where health systems are often ill-prepared to handle such threats.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) encompasses all microbe types, meaning that a broader array of pathogens, not just bacteria, are becoming increasingly resistant to treatment.
The WHO's ranking of bacteria based on resistance metrics is crucial for understanding and mitigating the risks posed by top pathogens, like Klebsiella pneumoniae.
