Antimicrobial Resistance Far Deadlier Than Thought, Study Finds
The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) has recently published a new article that describes a study that was recently published in the Lancet regarding the Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance report. They write: “in the largest and most comprehensive study to date on the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), an international team of researchers estimates that more than 1.2 million people died from drug-resistant infections in 2019.”
The study findings are open access and available here: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02724-0/fulltext
