Important read that reinforces need to expand incentives to address AMR and to ensure appropriate prescriber education
Drug-resistant infections are already placing a significant financial burden on U.S. hospitals, and that burden could grow substantially over the next two decades.
Our recent antimicrobial resistance (AMR) study estimates that annual U.S. hospital costs associated with resistant infections could rise from approximately $31 billion in 2025 to $52 billion by 2045, an increase of nearly 68%.
