Superbugs are a bigger problem than some think.

Projections by a United Kingdom government research panel suggest that if unchecked, superbugs could kill more than 10 million people each year by 2050. That would far outpace all other major causes of death – including diabetes, cancer, diarrhea and road accidents. The economic cost is estimated at US$100 trillion by 2050.
