LET’S UNDERSTAND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE

What is AMR?

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and
parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections
harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread and severe illness.2

Who can be impacted by AMR?

AMR can affect anyone, of any age, in any country. The World Health Organization
(WHO) characterizes AMR as one of the biggest threats to global public health
today.3,5

What is the global impact of AMR?

Globally, AMR causes 700,000 deaths annually. If no solution is found, the
devastating impact is likely to worsen.4,5

What would happen if we dont act now?
 * Serious bacerial infections could become impossible to treat.4,5
 * Many routine medical procedures could be too risky to perform because of the
   risk of becoming infected while in hospital by a multi-drug resistant
   pathogen.5,6
 * Minor infections and injuries could become life-threatening.4,5
 * Travel could be considered too risky, impacting global trade.5,6
 * Could lead to an estimated 10 million annual deaths by 2050.5,6
