Society needs to urgently address antimicrobial resistance

Oct. 30, 2017
By Peter Winter
The challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one we need to urgently solve. In the U.S., the CDC estimates at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to currently available antibiotic therapies annually and approximately 23,000 people will die each year as a direct result of those infections. The threat of AMR has certainly been recognized worldwide and has become a top priority for global policy and public health.
