"The next time you need to take antibiotics, they may not work. So you may be
prescribed a different antibiotic, which also may not work. Maybe nothing
works.
This is what happens when bacteria develop resistance to drugs designed to kill
them, putting modern medicine at risk, and making everyday infections deadly.
Climate change is accelerating the emergence and spread of these “superbugs”,
which thrive in warm, wet conditions.
Our new report, released today, calls for modern solutions to these challenges.
These include integrated surveillance and sensing systems, point-of-care
diagnostics, new vaccines, and “prevention through design” of better farms,
hospitals and other high-risk settings."
