Superbugs could kill 39 million people by 2050. Here's what Canadian survivors, doctors say should change | CBC News

Sepsis and antimicrobial resistance represent a significant public health crisis, underscoring the urgency for systemic change in how infections are managed.

Drug-resistant infections are on the rise. so why aren't we getting any new antibiotics?

Antimicrobial resistance threatens modern medicine, exacerbated by a lack of new antibiotic development and disproportionate impacts on low-income regions.

Drug-resistant germs will kill millions more people in coming decades, researchers warn

The overuse of antibiotics has led to the rapid evolution of superbugs, resulting in potentially millions of deaths by 2050 without action.

The Global Threat of Antibiotic Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance is tied to accessibility; millions lack affordable antibiotics for treatable infections, highlighting the need for a broader understanding of the issue.

Urban Birds Are Harboring Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria
