Superbug could kill over a million in Europe by 2025

An “antibiotic Armageddon” could result in a superbug death toll of more than a million across Europe by 2025, experts have warned.

According to the latest evidence, 400,000 people have already died since the emergence of large-scale antibiotic resistance in the last decade.

This figure is set to more than double in the next 10 years, say scientists from the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
