BATTLE FOR WORLD / CBSNEWS | April 22, 2019: The article highlights that when antibiotics were first used in the 1940s they were a revolutionary treatment in medicine. Because before their proven usefulness, diseases like pneumonia and tuberculosis were often a death sentence, and even an infected scratch could be fatal. But since then, antibiotics have saved hundreds of millions of lives, but now many of these drugs are becoming ineffective.

Each time we take an antibiotic, bacteria can develop the same kind of resistance in our bodies, which is why the overuse of these drugs have become so dangerous.

And scientists say it's a problem of our own making. That we've used antibiotics so freely, causing some bacteria to mutate into so-called "superbugs." They've become resistant to the very drugs designed to kill their infection off. A study commissioned by the British government estimates that by the year 2050, approximately 10 million people worldwide could die each year from antibiotic resistant bacteria. That figure is more than those who are currently dying from cancer.
