Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic resistance is undermining modern medicine. Infections become drug-resistant because the bacteria causing them can adapt and quickly change, rendering antibiotics ineffective. Without working antibiotics, routine surgery like hip replacements, common illnesses like diarrhea, and minor injuries such as cuts can suddenly become life-threatening. Each year, over 1 million people die from antibiotic-resistant infections. As more drugs stop working, more lives are in danger. Everyone is at risk from resistant bacteria. It is a universal threat.
There is hope in solving this problem. Antibiotic resistance is solvable, and phage is one of the most powerful solutions. By taking action now to invest, collaborate, and develop innovative phage-based solutions, we can protect ourselves, our families, and our communities.
