"In January 2022, we reported the most comprehensive estimates of the global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance (“the GRAM report”), estimating that antimicrobial resistance was a contributing factor in 4.3 million deaths in 2019; of those, 1.27 million deaths were directly attributable to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) [1,2]. The study highlighted inequities, with the all-age death rate attributable to AMR highest in sub-Saharan Africa (23.7/100,000), despite this region not having the highest AMR prevalence, but because of the high infectious disease burden and fragile health systems."
