Because
No One
is Immune.
For the past 15 years, a new infectious disease has been discovered nearly every year, with an outbreak reported on nearly every continent. These threats of pandemic diseases, food-borne illnesses, climate change, and global trade and transit underscore the importance of addressing the complexity of infectious diseases and public health preparedness. It requires more than collaboration.
CDC VISITS OHIO STATE TO EXPLORE NEW WAYS OF FIGHTING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT BACTERIA
Antibiotics keep us safe from infectious diseases - except when they don't. At least two million people in the U.S. each year become infected by antibiotic resistant bacteria, and another 23,000 die from those infections.
