Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections caused over 1.2 million lives in 2019, according to the most thorough global assessment of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
The FINANCIAL First comprehensive analysis of global impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) estimates resistance itself caused 1.27 million deaths in 2019 – more deaths than HIV/AIDS or malaria – and that antimicrobial-resistant infections played a role in 4.95 million deaths, according to University of Oxford. Estimates for 204 countries and territories confirm AMR as a global health threat, with worst impacts in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), though higher income countries also face alarmingly high levels of AMR.
