❗️About 40 million people around the world can die from resistance to antibiotics over the next 25 years, reports The Guardian
About a million people die every year due to the spread of resistance to antimicrobial drugs, and this figure will grow over the next 25 years. It's really scary.
The publication writes that, according to scientists, by 2050, the mortality rate from resistance to antimicrobial drugs will double. At the same time, older people will be in a special risk group.
It is clarified that among people over 70 years old, mortality rates have increased by 80% since 1990, since as the population is aging, more and more people suffer from chronic diseases, which makes them more vulnerable to new types of bacteria.
