Pte Bezverkhny lost both legs and contracted sepsis five times
Dangerous drug-resistant bacteria are spreading in Ukraine
KYIV — When Pte Oleksander Bezverkhny was evacuated to the Feofaniya Hospital in Kyiv, few believed he would live. The 27-year-old had a severe abdominal injury and shrapnel had ripped through his buttocks. Both his legs were amputated.Then, doctors discovered that his infections were resistant to commonly used antibiotics – and the already daunting task of saving his life became almost hopeless.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when bacteria evolve and learn how to defend themselves against antibiotics and other medicines, rendering them ineffective.Ukraine is far from the only country affected by this issue: around 1.4 million people globally died of a AMR infection in 2021, and in the UK there were 66,730 serious antibiotic-resistant infections in 2023. However, war appears to have...
