MSU looks to solve antimicrobial resistance
A multi-disciplinary team of MSU researchers is looking for ways to combat the growing issues related to antibiotic resistant bacteria.
2.8 million
people in the U.S. get an antibiotic resistant infection each year
42
antibiotics are in development
1 new class of antibiotic has been released since 2003
158
public health research projects to better understand and combat AR
More than 35,000 people die as a result of antibiotic resistant infection each year
Antibiotic prescribing in outpatient settings declined (2011–2016) 5%
Our Table on Antibiotic Resistance
Food@MSU hosted an Our Table discussion on antibiotic resistance featuring panelists Sarah Comstock, assistant professor in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition, James Tiedje, University Distinguished Professor in Plant, Soil & Microbial Sciences and Victor DiRita, Rudolph Hugh Professor & Chair in the Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics. Food@MSU is an AgBioResearch initiative focused on improving communication around agriculture.
