Antibiotic resistance is rising among children worldwide, threatening to make common and potentially deadly infections increasingly difficult to treat, according to a new study that analyzed more than 106,000 infection samples from 82 countries.
The research, led by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute in collaboration with the University of Sydney, the Clinton Health Access Initiative and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, found that resistance increased across every region studied between 2004 and 2022.
