Antibiotic resistance is spreading globally.

📝 The latest GLASS report from the World Health Organization reveals a troubling trend: widespread resistance to commonly used antibiotics, threatening the effectiveness of treatments and the safety of care worldwide.

#AMR #AntimicrobialResistance

WHO warns of widespread resistance to common antibiotics worldwide

One in six laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections causing common infections in people worldwide in 2023 were resistant to antibiotic treatments, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report launched today.

This is made even worse by the fact that even low concentrations of antibiotics [considered as "safe"] do alter the gut microbiota!

How antimicrobial resistance is risking blood cancer treatment

Effective antimicrobials are essential to deliver cancer treatments safely but rising resistance increases infection risks, particularly in heavily immunosuppressed blood cancer patients. Clinical trials often underestimate the impact of infections and antimicrobial resistance, frequently underreporting the severity of bloodstream infections,...
