Antimicrobial resistance

Statista overview report

Antimicrobial resistance

This report gives an overview of one of the most pressing current health challenges worldwide: antimicrobial resistance (in short AMR). It includes a brief history on how the discovery of antibiotics and their use have fostered AMR, as well as chapters on AMR consequences on the healthcare and economy of countries.

This study explains how the overuse and misuse of antibiotics are drivers in the rise of multi-drug resistant bacteria and why AMR has the potential to undermine the medical progress made in the last century and become the leading cause of death worldwide if no action is taken. Finally, perceptions and solutions on how to prevent AMR are presented.
