This could new risks to our health. Cuts and common infections could deadly in the future because the antibiotics will no longer bacteria. The WHO said: "These findings deeply concerning." It added: "As antibiotic resistance to rise...we're lives at risk."

The WHO a large study on superbugs. It at data from over 100 countries. Drug resistance is highest in Southeast Asian and Eastern Mediterranean countries. There, 1 in 3 reported infections was resistant. In Africa, 1 in 5 infections resistant. The study that bugs were drug-resistant faster than researchers could new drugs. More and more bugs are becoming resistant to modern medicines. The WHO said between 2018 and 2023, drug resistance in over 40 per cent of the bacteria it . An additional worry is that there is not enough testing done to create new, effective drugs. The WHO said this will a big "future threat".
