Antibiotic overuse and misuse have led to what’s considered the healthcare crisis of this generation: antibiotic resistance.

ABX CROSSROADS was established to build awareness and support strategic initiatives to

address this critical problem.

“A post-antibiotic era — in which common

infections and minor injuries can kill — far from being an apocalyptic fantasy,

is instead a very real possibility for the

twenty-fi rst century.”

Keiji Fukuda, M.D.World Health Organization
