Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a rapidly growing global challenge. In 2019, bacterial AMR infections were estimated to have directly caused 1.27 million global deaths and, by 2050, a study published in The Lancet in September 2024 suggested that it could cause 39 million more. Listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as in November 2023, AMR is fuelled by high levels of antibiotic prescribing.
