The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a list of 12 bacteria posing the greatest threats to human health because they are resistant to antibiotics. Millions of people could die if new and effective antibiotics are not developed. The Priority Pathogens List is to help prioritize R&D into new and effective antibiotics.
1000minds was used to survey and aggregate the preferences of experts in infectious diseases from around the world.
