The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have contributed to the rise of antibiotic resistance, rendering many antibiotics ineffective against bacterial infections. Additionally, the slow pace of vaccine development and unequal access to vaccines have hindered our ability to prevent and control infectious diseases, leading to outbreaks and epidemics. Furthermore, the emergence of new and evolving pathogens, such as novel viruses and drug-resistant bacteria, poses ongoing challenges to our current treatment and prevention strategies, underscoring the need for continuous research and innovation in the field of infectious disease control.
