Stopping Deaths Caused by Antibiotic Resistance
Organization information
Phages for Global Health
Location: Oakland, United States of America
Summary
Antibiotic-resistant infections are predicted to kill 10 million people each year by 2050 -- even more than the 1.4 million deaths caused by coronavirus during the first 11 months of the pandemic. Thus, we urgently need antibiotic alternatives, particularly in Africa and Asia where 90% of the antibiotic-resistant deaths will occur. Phages for Global Health helps scientists in Africa and Asia develop cheap, natural antibiotic alternatives (phages) that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
