The World Health Organization assessed worldwide antibacterial resistance and recently published their findings.

Scary! We should all take this seriously. I hope everyone will do their share to help contain this antimicrobial resistance. To prevent infections from happening, anyone can start from their own home through better hygiene and access to clean water. Prevention is always better than cure.
