Press Centre - European Antibiotic Awareness Day 2014 – Statement by the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, Carlos Moedas (via Research & Innovation): It is a known fact that growing resistance to antibiotics is one of the biggest challenges to public health today. We need to find new ways to prevent new outbreaks of common infections that have been treatable for decades. The latest EU-wide data on antibiotic resistance in humans, released by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control on the eve of European Antibiotic Awareness Day on 18 November, show that resistance in certain bacteria has nearly doubled in just three years. In the EU alone, drug-resistant infections lead to around 25 000 deaths each year. (T:@innovationunion)
