The threat of a superbug looms over the world.
This superbug can kill about 40 million people in the next 25 years. The biggest danger is that even medicines have no effect on this superbug.
Researchers say that if this serious problem is not worked upon in time, then the problem can increase considerably.
This superbug has been named MR and antibiotics are not having any effect on this bacteria. Due to this, it is difficult to treat them.
According to research published in the Lancet journal, between 1990 and 2021, more than one million people have lost their lives due to this superbug.
Due to preventive and control measures, the infection in newborns has reduced by 50 percent. But it is becoming extremely difficult to treat children who get infected with this superbug.
At the same time, due to this superbug, the number of deaths of people above the age of 70 has increased by 80 percent. This figure is also from the year 1990 to 2021. According to a study by Lancet, deaths due to this superbug have doubled to 130,000 in 2021.
ever-increasing threat
Researchers have reported that the risk of death from this superbug is constantly increasing. Based on current trends, direct deaths from MRS may increase by 67 percent by the year 2050.
Research has shown that AMR will directly affect 39 million people in the next quarter century.
In this way, a total of 169 million deaths would have occurred. However, there can be some reduction in this, but the condition for this is that necessary steps will have to be taken to prevent dangerous infections. If proper work is done in this direction, then 92 million lives can be saved by 2050.
Mohsin Nagvi, co-author of the research, said that AMR has been a threat to the world’s health for a long time. Now this threat is increasing.
Researchers will reach this conclusion after studying 22 pathogens, 84 combinations of drugs and pathogens, and 11 infectious syndromes such as meningitis. It includes personal records of 520 million people in 204 countries and territories.
