Superbugs crisis may lead to death of nearly 4 crore people by 2050

Superbugs are increasingly becoming resistant to medicines. Infections due to these could kill up to 40 million people by 2050

Superbugs are a strain of bacteria or pathogens that are resistant to antibiotics. Their resistance makes them harder to treat

69 million deaths would be associated with antimicrobial resistance or AMR

The research further found that more than a million people died from AMR annually across the globe between 1990 and 2021.
