Curtailing pollution created by pharmaceuticals, agricultural and healthcare sectors is essential to reduce the emergence, transmission, and spread of superbugs — strains of bacteria that have become resistant to every known antibiotic — and other instances of antimicrobial resistance, known as AMR.<\/p>\n

This is the key message of a report released by the UN<\/a> Environment<\/a> Programme (UNEP) on the environmental dimensions of AMR, which already is taking a serious toll on the The development and spread of AMR mean that antimicrobials used to prevent and treat infections in humans, animals and Plants<\/a> might turn ineffective, with modern medicine no longer able to treat even mild infections.<\/p>\n

Listed by the WHO among the top 10 global threats to Health<\/a>, it is estimated that in 2019, 1.27 million deaths were directly attributed to drug-resistant infections globally, and 4.95 million deaths worldwide were associated with bacterial AMR (including those directly attributable to AMR).<\/p>\n

AMR is expected to cause 10 million additional direct deaths annually by 2050. This equals the number of deaths caused globally by cancer in 2020.<\/p>\n

The report highlights a comprehensive set of measures to address both the decline of the environment and the rise of AMR, especially addressing key pollution sources from poor sanitation, sewage, community and municipal wastes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
