Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis - The Lancet

Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis - The Lancet: To our knowledge, this study provides the first comprehensive assessment of the global burden of AMR, as well as an evaluation of the availability of data.
