Antibiotic resistance is increasingly becoming a critical global health threat, with the WHO reporting over a million deaths annually due to resistant bacteria. Experts warn that if no measures are taken, deaths from antibiotic-resistant infections could exceed 39 million by 2050. Increased awareness and responsible use of antibiotics are essential, as many healthcare facilities lack proper antibiotic stewardship. Vaccination and better research into new antibiotics are also vital strategies to combat this crisis, as highlighted in the upcoming ARD documentary.
