Tailored antimicrobial therapy in critically ill patients
3 Jul 2025In hospitals around the world, there is an escalating threat of multidrug-resistant bacteria with it being predicted that by 2050, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), could lead to more deaths globally than cancer.
