The Final Service

Overuse of Antibiotics and the Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance


Listen Later

When bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, it makes infections harder to treat. This increases the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. 


Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) leads to deaths, high health treatment costs, and economic and livelihood losses.


Jennifer Cohn, Director, Global Access at Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP), joins Ray Suarez to talk about the threat of AMR, and how to prevent it.
