4.95 million deaths are associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR) per year.
1.27 deaths per year from antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Even More people die from not having access to antibiotics.
The very young, the very old, and the very ill are most vulnerable to antibiotic-resistant infections.
In a world without effective antibiotics, common infections will require complicated and costly treatments, and advanced medical procedures such as cancer therapy, transplants, and even routine surgeries will become impossible.
