The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has identified 19 pathogens, including Candida auris, Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter, Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, and drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae, as urgent threats due to their resistance to available treatments. These pathogens are responsible for 9.7 million infections and 50,800 deaths annually in the United States. Candida auris, a deadly fungus, has led to over 6,700 infections in 2023, a nearly tenfold increase since 2019. The CDC warns that antimicrobial resistance threatens modern medicine and could result in 317,000 annual deaths in North America by 2050.
