Developing new-generation antibiotics to curb antibiotic resistance

Antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, is a major public health issue. Bacterial diseases we used to successfully treat with antibiotics are re-emerging as serious threats, killing an estimated 700,000 people each year, a number that is predicted to reach 10 million by 2050. If the AMR challenge is not solved by then, the cost associated with it will run into an estimated $100 trillion dollar expenditure.
