Antimicrobials are drugs used to treat infectious diseases caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoan parasites, but they are becoming ineffective. All uses of antimicrobial drugs - in human medicine, veterinary medicine, and food production - are accelerating the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Misuse and abuse make the problem worse. Without a coordinated One Health approach, rising levels of AMR could lead to 10 million deaths each year and hundreds of billions of dollars lost in annual economic growth.
