U.K. experts are now warning the public to be concerned about antibiotic-resistant infections, which are often described as a “hidden pandemic.”
According to the U.K Health Security Agency, one in five people with bloodstream infection in the last year had an antibiotic-resistant one. That data was after a decline in the number of antibiotic-resistant infections recorded in 2019.
Experts fear that as we slowly emerge from the global Covid-19 outbreak, with rapidly winter approaching, antibiotic resistance infections could increase again.
