Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), whereby a bacteria, virus, parasite or fungi becomes resistant to the antimicrobial drug that treats it, is recognized as one of greatest global threats to human and animal health and safety.

PATH and Johnson & Johnson Vietnam are collaborating on Breath for Life, a new project to reduce childhood tuberculosis (TB) illness and death in Vietnam.
