US CDC Report: Drug-Resistant Germs Cause 50,800 Deaths Annually
A new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that drug-resistant pathogens are responsible for approximately 50,800 deaths in the United States each year.
Background
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat where bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites no longer respond to medicines. This makes infections harder to treat, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. International health organizations and governments worldwide are working to combat AMR through surveillance, research, and policy changes.
