Text of Note
While the discovery and subsequent availability of antimicrobials revolutionized modern healthcare in humans and animals, growing resistance to antimicrobials by bacterial pathogens threatens to undermine one of the greatest scientific advances of the 20th century, as the discovery of new antimicrobials has slowed while antibiotic use and subsequent resistance (AMR) is rising globally (1-4). Current human mortality rates due to AMR are already over half a million deaths annually worldwide, and recent reports have estimated that if AMR is not controlled, the mortality rate will exceed 10 million per year by 2050, with an economic burden of over
