PARIS — Infections of drug-resistant superbugs are projected to kill nearly 40 million people over the next 25 years, a global analysis predicted on Monday, as the researchers called for action to avoid this grim scenario.
Superbugs — strains of bacteria or pathogens that have become resistant to antibiotics, making them much harder to treat — have been recognized as a rising threat to global health.The analysis has been billed as the first research to track the global impact of superbugs over time and estimate what could happen next.
'This threat is growing'The researchers used modeling to estimate that — based on current trends — the number of direct deaths from AMR would rise by 67 percent to reach nearly 2 million a year by 2050.It will also play a role in a further 8.2 million annual deaths, a jump of nearly 75 percent, according to the modeling.Under this scenario, AMR will have directly killed 39 million people over the next quarter-century and contributed to a total of 169 million deaths, it added.
