In this study under the Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) project in the UK, researchers said that the resistance to antibiotics has increase resistance can cause the death of about 3.90 crore people by the year 2050. At the same time, this resistance can indirectly cause an additional 1.69 crore deaths. If corrective measures are not taken in time, then by 2050 the annual death rate can cross the figure of 82 lakhs respectively.

Deaths due to antibiotic resistance will also be high in other parts of Southern and Eastern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Furthermore, trends between 1990 and 2021 show that deaths attributable to antibiotic resistance have increased by more than 80 per cent among people aged 70 years and older, and will continue to affect the elderly more in the future.

According to the researchers, a large number of lives can be saved if prevention is focused on in time. Better care for serious infections, new vaccines to prevent infections, and access to more prudent medical protocols that limit antibiotic use to appropriate cases could save a total of 9.20 million lives between 2025 and 2050 the lives of crores of people can be saved.

Measures will be discussed this study of antibiotic resistance has been released before the high level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly.
Professor Dame Sally Davies, a member of the UN Inter-Agency Coordination Group on Antimicrobial Resistance in the UK, believes the world is facing an antibiotic emergency, which is taking a devastating human toll on families and communities around the world.
