AMR could render many of the current mainstay and last-resort antibiotics useless, resulting in many more deaths from previously treatable infections. As is further research into understand the impact of arthropods on the dissemination of AMR and improving the basic healthcare infrastructure to mitigate the spread of AMR by arthropods. ‘Most antibiotics currently used on animals are also the same that are used in humans, creating a pool where bacteria can evolve to evade drugs and then reinfect humans.’ Prof. Tim Walsh, Oxford University. The Ineos Oxford Institute for AMR Research is committed to finding non-human antibiotic therapies and feeds for animals, addressing the increase in AMR in human infections and raising awareness of this hidden threat to human health. But this is a global medical crisis that ultimately will only be resolved with a global response.’ Prof. Tim Walsh, Oxford University.
