Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a major concern in hospitals and nursing homes. Every year, millions of patients suffer from HAIs, which can lead to serious complications, such as sepsis and death. Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to HAIs, as their immune systems are weaker, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections.
According to this report, in Canada, it is estimated that 1 in 19 deaths are attributed to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The costs of AMR are very high for the healthcare sector, which is approximately $1.4 billion per year and is projected to increase to around $7.6 billion per year by 2050. Worldwide, there is an estimated 700,000 people that die from AMR infections yearly. The numbers are large and only growing.
