Antibiotic resistance is on the rise, doctor warns: ‘This is an enormous problem’
There are about 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which cause at least 35,000 annual deaths.
And those numbers are likely an understatement, according to Dr. Marc Siegel, a professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes antibiotic resistance as "one of the biggest threats to global health, food security and development today," according to its website.
