Aribare saying the need to keep attention high is Massimo Andreoni, scientific director of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases (Simit). «It is a phenomenon of extreme concern because this is the great global problem: the appearance of germs resistant to all the antimicrobials we have”, he told beraking latest news on the sidelines of the meeting ‘We stand with public health: a call to action for infectious diseases’, organized together with the Company of general medicine and primary care (Simg). Candida auris is fully part of the phenomenon of drug resistance: “we weren’t used to mushrooms, we were confronted with the problem linked mainly to bacteria”, he concludes, recalling that the World Health Organization foresees, for antibiotic resistance, millions of deaths by 2050. “It will become the leading cause of death in the world. It will be deadlier than the pandemic we have experienced”.
