Antibiotic resistance could cause over 39 million deaths by 2050, study says
Briefly

More than 39 million people could die of antibiotic-resistant infections between now and 2050, with older people most at risk, according to new research.
Kevin Ikuta emphasized the gravity of the situation by stating that the projected 39 million deaths equates to about three deaths every minute.
This study is significant as it is the first to analyze antimicrobial resistance trends globally over time, providing crucial public health insights.
Antimicrobial resistance complicates treatment for common infections and raises risks for medical procedures like chemotherapy and C-sections.
