About Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
AMR is an issue of growing global importance which results in 750,000 deaths per year . It occurs when pathogens adapt so that the drugs used to treat infections become less effective. If not addressed, the spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens could continue to rise, leading to highly dangerous superbugs. The number of annual global deaths from AMR is projected to increase to 10 million by 2050 — which is more people than die globally of cancer today – unless successful alternatives to antibiotics are developed.
Micreos Pharmaceuticals intends to play a very significant role in addressing AMR and the great unmet medical need for a safe alternative to antibiotics.
