More than a million people worldwide lose their lives each year due to infections resulting from bacteria resistant to antibiotics, according to the World Health Organization.

The research will be driven by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health , a government research agency launched by Biden and Congress last year. The antimicrobial initiative will be their largest investment to date, the official said.
