Study Notes

### AMR Impact in 2019

A study released in January 2022 concluded that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) was responsible for an estimated 4.95 million deaths worldwide in 2019.

Impact of Antimicrobials on Animal Health

The introduction of antimicrobials into veterinary medicine has significantly improved animal health and productivity, leading to increased food production. However, this has also increased the potential for the development of antimicrobial resistance.

Clinical Pipeline of New Antimicrobials

In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified a limited number of new antimicrobials in the clinical pipeline, highlighting the urgent need for investment in antimicrobial research and development.

Impact of Penicillin

The discovery of penicillin in 1928 revolutionized medicine by providing the first effective treatment for bacterial infections.

Impacts of Lack of Access to Quality Antimicrobials

The lack of access to quality antimicrobials in many parts of the world remains a major issue, leading to higher rates of morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases.
