Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark 2018

August 15, 2017

The global healthcare system depends on appropriate and timely access to antimicrobials. Without antibiotics, there is no direct treatment for infections, no safe surgery, no emergency medicine. The unchecked rise of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) puts this at risk for us all. While AMR results from natural selection, the ways we make, use and dispose of antimicrobials are undoubtedly accelerating its spread. To address AMR, a fine balance must be struck between appropriate access to antimicrobials and efforts to curb overuse and misuse. Novel antimicrobials and vaccines are also urgently needed.
