THE United Nations has recently declared antimicrobial resistance, or the resistance of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites to medicines designed to kill them, as a major health problem, estimating that infections from these drug-resistant microbes could kill up to 10 million people annually and cost the global economy $412 billion a year by 2050.
