Previous estimates predicted 10-million annual deaths from antimicrobial resistance by 2050, but we are already far closer to that figure, says one researcher

Resistance to antibiotics killed more people than HIV/Aids or malaria in 2019, as common infections that could previously be treated become impervious to existing cures.

Scientists have sounded the alarm for years on the threat of intractable infections from bugs that have come to resist even the most potent antibiotics. The study — an attempt to compile the first comprehensive tally by bringing together data from hundreds of countries — suggest deaths have accelerated at a quicker-than-expected pace.

The scientists traced deaths connected to 23 pathogens and 88 combinations of pathogens and drugs using data from 204 countries and territories, according to the article. Low- and middle-income countries were the hardest hit. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia had the highest estimated direct death tolls, with 24 and 22 fatalities per 100,000 population, respectively.
