flag UN warns up to 10 million annual deaths by 2050 from antimicrobial resistance in waterways.

flag Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in waterways could cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050, according to the UN. flag AMR is spread through water pollution from sewage and agricultural runoff. flag Monitoring AMR is challenging due to complex water systems and lack of efficient, scalable methods. flag Most research is from the US, China, and Brazil, with low-income countries underrepresented. flag Scientists use PCR and metagenomics to detect AMR, though these methods are expensive. flag Combining these with cheaper culture-based methods may offer a more balanced approach to monitoring AMR globally.
