So much so that a 2014 study commissioned by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom predicted that, if the problem is left unchecked, in less than 35 years more people will die from antibiotic resistant superbugs than from cancer. It is critical that researchers develop new antibiotics informed by knowledge of how superbugs are resistant to this medication.</span></p> Wed, 03 May 2017 19:16:34 +0000 laurie.devine@mcgill.ca 28062 at /newsroom /newsroom/channels/news/simluated-patient-study-sheds-new-light-antibiotic-use-india-262354 <p><strong><em>黑料不打烊 Newsroom</em></strong></p> <p><em>As a result of the overuse or misus<span>e of antibiotics, antimicrobial resistant superbugs represent an extraordinary threat to global health.
