Antimicrobial Resistance [AMR] is projected to cause 1.91 million deaths annually by 2050, a 67.5% increase from 2021. More than 65% of AMR-related deaths in 2050 are expected to be among people aged 70 and older and likely will become the leading cause of death in the world surpassing even cancer. AMR may cost the global economy up to $100 trillion by 2050. AMR is an umbrella term which explains how bacteria, viruses, and other microbes [fungi] can develop resistance to medications like antibiotics, making infections harder to treat due to their ability to evade the drugs designed to kill them.
