The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued a comprehensive report on Superbugs, highlighting the problem of AntiMicrobial Resistance (AMR).
Significant points:
1. No major types of antibiotics discovered in the last 30 years
2. This report covers data from 114 countries – high levels of resistance found in all parts of the world
2. Without urgent action, we are heading for a post-antibiotic era in which common infections and minor injuries can again kill
