Drug-resistant infections kill hundreds of thousands of people every year.
That number could soar to as many as 10 million a year by 2050 unless the world acts now. That is the warning from British researchers about drug-resistant bacteria.

Overuse of antibiotics is raising the prospect of a future where routine operations will become too dangerous for doctors to perform. And a simple infection could leave you fighting for your life.
Could superbugs become deadlier than cancer?
