Superbugs will 'kill every three seconds' - BBC News
Superbugs will kill someone every three seconds by 2050 unless the world acts now, a hugely influential report says.
The global review sets out a plan for preventing medicine "being cast back into the dark ages" that requires billions of dollars of investment.
It also calls for a revolution in the way antibiotics are used and a massive campaign to educate people.
The report has received a mixed response with some concerned that it does not go far enough.
The problem is that we are simply not developing enough new antibiotics and we are wasting the ones we have.
