Антибиотикорезистентность может унести жизни 40 миллионов людей за следующие 25 лет.

Over the next 25 years, the world may face catastrophic consequences due to the rise of antibiotic resistance. This was reported by The Guardian, as conveyed by UNN.

Details

Experts predict that resistance to antimicrobial drugs could lead to the deaths of approximately 40 million people, effectively doubling current mortality rates.

The elderly are particularly vulnerable in the face of this crisis, as their immune systems are less capable of fighting off new aggressive bacterial strains. The increasing resistance of microorganisms renders the effectiveness of many traditional treatments inadequate for combating severe infections.

Furthermore, this situation jeopardizes the conduct of routine medical procedures, such as surgical operations or even childbirth, which could result in fatal complications due to the inability to control infections.

Experts are calling for immediate actions, including the development of new antibiotics, enhancement of infection prevention systems, and global oversight of antimicrobial use in both medicine and agriculture.
