- The next pandemic is already here: Antimicrobial resistance is upending . . .
The pandemic of antimicrobial resistance – or AMR - isn’t a science-fiction scenario In many ways, it’s already here Countering the threat of antimicrobial resistance AMR is truly one of the most urgent, complex and, yes, frightening health challenges of our time
