Humanity is once again at risk of losing the battle with bacteria and dying.
Because more and more microorganisms are becoming resistant to antibiotics, and there are too few new drugs.
The President of the Paul Ehrlich Society for Infection Therapy, Matthias Ploetz, warned that the effectiveness of antibiotics is under threat, RIA Novosti reports, citing German media.
At present, humanity is in the process of losing the achievements of modern medicine.
According to Pletz, the effectiveness of drugs goes back to the time before the discovery of penicillin.
There is currently a severe shortage of new antibiotics due to increasing resistance.
A recent study has confirmed that by 2050, more than 39 million people could die from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant germs.
Scientists have warned that in the EU alone, 35,000 people die every year from infections caused by resistant pathogens.
Clinical trials and development of new antibiotics are often delayed due to the high cost and benefits of industry.
