    The Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), Stepan Kalmykov, warns that antibiotic resistance could become one of the main factors driving mortality in the future. He predicts that in 25-30 years, more people will die from antibiotic resistance than from cancer. The issue is attributed to the uncontrolled use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture, making it a global problem. RAS is collaborating with other academies of sciences within BRICS and BRICS+ to address this threat.
