Italy is top in Europe for
antibiotics-resistant deaths, according to a Higher Health
Institute (ISS) study to be presented to the VII international
congress of the Infectious and Tropical Issues (AMIT)
organisation.
Italy alone accounts for more than 10,000 of Europe's 33,000
deaths due to resistance to antibiotics each year, the ISS said.
It said that in 2050 bacterial infections will be the main
cause of deaths in Italy.
