Superdrugs to fight those superbugs--a host of new antibiotics are being developed in India. Doctors battling India's persistent antimicrobial resistance (AMR) problem spoke to me for this feature for Nikkei Asia. @draghafur @StructBioinfo @vbalaji7

Dear @MALimbavali madam, when can residents of Thubarahalli meet with you to discuss the impossible traffic situation (from Vartur Kodi to Kundanahalli junction). I see ambulances being stuck almost everyday. The roads are pathetic, and we get no support from BBMP. Thanks

New report from @CGDev estimates:
-#AMR adds excess $66 bn to global costs of hospital treatment
- If AMR worsens w/o effective interventions, costs could ⬆️ $159 billion annually by 2050
-Under certain conditions, #AMR shrinks global econ by $1.7 trillion
Antimicrobial resistance poses a huge threat to global health & economic stability. A new @CGDev report provides the most comprehensive analysis to date of the impact of AMR on global economies and health systems.

While more countries are concerned about #AMR than a decade ago, many are reluctant to commit to a specific target to reduce the overuse of animal antibiotics.
