Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the resistance of micro-organisms to antibiotics, antivirals or antifungals, is a huge global problem.

As more bugs become drug resistant we will lose the ability to rely on antibiotics for routinely treatments—including for basic surgery, cancer treatments or cesareans.
