Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a danger to our health and potentially pose the next deadly global threat, according to researchers.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are being accused of not conducting research into new antibiotic drugs for the market.<\/p>\n

The Access to Medicine Foundation, based in the Netherlands, has said that drug resistance is a major threat and has called for more research into new antibiotic drugs.<\/p>\n

Only 68 active substances are currently being studied worldwide, with 292 projects in the preclinical phase, according to the German Association of Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s nowhere near enough, as antibiotic resistance increases more and more each day and we become more vulnerable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A 2022 study by medical journal The Lancet showed that a total of nearly five million people worldwide have died or suffered disease in cases of antimicrobial resistance.<\/p>\n

It is not clear if the cause of these deaths was the original pathogen or antibiotic resistance.<\/p>\n

The western Sub-Saharan region will be hit the hardest by this deadly threat, Deutsche Welle reported.<\/p>\n

However, antibiotic resistance is not confined to developing and emerging in just one country, which means it could pose a threat worldwide.<\/p>\n

Many people in middle and low-income countries rely on large corporations\u2019 production of antibiotics, meaning if they no longer research new medicines, the result would be deaths due to lack of medication.<\/p>\n
