Accepted Answer

Antibiotic resistance is not a future problem — an estimated 1.3 million people die worldwide each year from resistant infections. Some bacteria are now resistant to every known antibiotic. We have not discovered a new antibiotic class since 1987.

Antibiotica-resistentie is geen toekomstprobleem — wereldwijd sterven naar schatting 1,3 miljoen mensen per jaar aan resistente infecties. Sommige bacteriën zijn nu resistent tegen alle bekende antibiotica. We hebben sinds 1987 geen nieuwe antibiotica-klasse ontdekt.
