Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States Report

The Antibiotic Resistance Threats in the United States report highlights how some bacteria have developed the ability to withstand antibiotics, making infections harder to treat. This resistance leads to increased illness, longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and more deaths. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics in humans, animals, and agriculture have accelerated this problem. The report emphasizes the need for better infection prevention, responsible antibiotic use, and investment in new antibiotics and diagnostics to combat these resistant bacteria and protect public health.
