Antibiotic Resistance Leaves Children Vulnerable – Study Across 82 Countries
A global study spanning 82 countries found that antibiotic resistance increased in every region between 2004 and 2022, leaving children increasingly vulnerable to common infections. Children with weakened immune systems, such as transplant recipients on immunosuppressants, are particularly at risk. The case of 13-year-old Harry Booth from Australia illustrates the danger: born with kidney failure and living with a transplanted kidney, he faces recurring chest and urinary tract infections that are hard to treat.
