10 million deaths per year due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the alarming forecast for the year 2050 by the United Nations. This is combined with the global mission: to contain the development of resistance and keep antibiotics effective. This as well addresses the problematic use of antibiotics in industrial animal husbandry. There is a lot that has to be done politically. This is our appeal:
Modern medicine is unthinkable without antibiotics. Their availability for the treatment of bacterial infectious diseases saves countless lives worldwide every day. Due to the increasing emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), we are currently in danger of losing effective antibiotics - nothing less than global health is at stake. The high and regular use of antibiotics in animal husbandry, which fosters antimicrobial resistance, is therefore no longer acceptable.
