Antibiotics revolutionized medicine, but their effectiveness is threatened by resistance. This new page presents global data and research on antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.<br><br><a href="https://ourworldindata.org/antibiotics" target="_blank"><img src="https://ourworldindata.org/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/qLq-8BTgXU8yG0N6HnOy8g/0983df2b-3d7f-416f-71be-f4ad93a8a100/w=1350"/></a>

Many antibiotics were developed during the “Golden Age of Antibiotics”. How did it happen, why has antibiotic development slowed down since then, and what can we do to reignite it?<br><br><a href="https://ourworldindata.org/golden-age-antibiotics" target="_blank"><img src="https://ourworldindata.org/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/qLq-8BTgXU8yG0N6HnOy8g/7b3bf2c1-8af6-4e65-2e92-d5e4d781d800/w=1350"/></a>
