Infections with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria killed about 1.27 million people globally in 2019 .
Acinetobacter baumannii ( CRAB ) has genes that make an enzyme called carbapenemase, which degrades a set of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Enterobacterales bacteria are typically associated with health care settings, where most of these infections begin.
Typhoid fever was once easily treated with the antibiotics chloramphenicol, ampicillin and cotrimoxazole.
In the 1970s , a multidrug-resistant strain emerged that could stand up against these first -line antibiotics.
Doctors are running out of antibiotic options, and new drugs and vaccines are desperately needed.
Antibiotics almost always successfully treat these infections, which are caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
But over the past few decades , experts and doctors have noted increasing patterns of antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea cases.
As of 2019 , MRSA was the deadliest single antibiotic-resistant pathogen globally.
