Antibiotic Resistance Threatens Global Health as New Study Warns of a Worsening Crisis
A new study warns that nearly 40 million people could die by 2050 due to infections caused by antibiotic-resistant superbugs. These infections, which resist treatment, could increase by 70%, posing a serious global health threat. Scientists stress the need for new antibiotics and better healthcare. The elderly are particularly at risk. Improved global healthcare and reduced antibiotic misuse in animals and humans may avert millions of deaths.
