Where are superbugs causing problems?

Superbugs, or antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are causing significant problems in healthcare settings worldwide, particularly in hospitals and nursing homes where vulnerable patients are treated. They are also emerging in community settings, contributing to infections that are difficult to treat and control. Regions with high antibiotic use, poor sanitation, and limited access to healthcare are particularly affected, exacerbating the threat of these resistant pathogens. This growing issue poses a serious risk to public health, leading to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs, and increased mortality rates.
