Era pós - antibióticos a chegar?


"Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within a wide range of infectious agents is a growing public health
threat of broad concern to countries and multiple sectors. Increasingly, governments around the world
are beginning to pay attention to a problem so serious that it threatens the achievements of modern
medicine.
A post-antibiotic era — in which common infections and minor injuries can kill — far from being an apocalyptic fantasy, is instead a very real possibility for the 21st century"
