It is well known that poorer countries bear the biggest burden of resistance to antimicrobial drugs and that these countries are also most vulnerable to climate change.

But little research has been done into the link between these two phenomena.

Now new analysis by Chinese researchers projects the scale of the burden of antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, in low- and middle-income countries under current climate change trajectories, if sustainable development strategies are not urgently pursued.
