Superbugs kill more than a million people each year but neither governments nor the public recognise the scale of the threat.
The crisis is largely driven by the misuse of antibiotics about 70% of which are given to livestock which encourages the evolution of microbes too strong for modern medicine to handle.
By 2050 it is projected that drug-resistant bugs will kill nearly 2 million people and play role in the deaths of 8 million people.
Alan Dangour , who leads the climate and health team at Wellcome , said scientists discovering new treatments were in a race against the bugs.
If we don’t find another set of antibiotics or responses to bacterial infections, more and more people will be catching infections that are no longer responsive to the medicines we have,’ he said.
