At the time of writing in March 2020, the world was facing an escalating and unprecedented health crisis caused by the emergence of a novel virus: SARS-CoV-2. A period that coincided with the launch of our project to create the French National Antibiotic Resistance portal.. Although we have no treatments for this novel virus so far, we do have antibiotics to combat most bacteria. And yet, according to the World Health Organization, drug-resistant bacteria are responsible for 700,000 deaths each year. If nothing is done by the year 2050, we could be looking at an annual figure of 10 million. What better way to fight bacteria and their resistance that know no frontiers than to unite and mobilise expertise and strengths from a variety of horizons? This is the driving force of the french National Antibiotic Resistance Portal, which has been designed and created to offer each actor the resources needed to gain the upper hand.
