Superbugs to kill over 39 million people by 2050
Scientists have issued a warning over superbugs that could kill millions of people.
Superbugs could kill more than 39 million people by 2050 due to antibiotic resistance.
This warning was issued by WHO scientists and leading doctors of the world, according to an article in the Lancet journal.
They claim that superbugs will kill eight million people every year.
According to Washington State University professor Stine Folseth, there is not enough progress in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria.
The scientist calls for the development of new strategies that can prevent the development of an alarming scenario.
Otherwise, by 2050, superbugs could kill more than 39 million people.
The researchers concluded that the number of deaths could be reduced if new drugs were developed against gram-negative bacteria.
