There are many horror movies about superbugs that spread around world and kill millions of people. World Health Organisation (WHO) has said the spread of deadly superbugs is now reality. Many of medicines we have used for decades to keep away disease no longer work. Bugs have developed and have become resistant to antibiotics and other drugs. WHO said this is major threat to our health. organization said nobody on Earth is safe. superbugs can kill healthy people in rich countries as well as weaker people in poorer nations. WHO looked at data from 114 countries. It found that some antibiotics that worked 30 years ago do not work now for about half people who take them.

WHO's assistant director-general for health security Keiji Fukuda describes scary future. He said: "The world is headed for post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill." This means that soon there will be no way to stop people from once again dying from diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and influenza. Dr Fukuda warned this was global trend. He said: "This is not regional phenomena. This is not phenomena occurring in just poor countries or developing countries, or in rich countries or developed countries. This is something which is occurring in all countries in world."
