Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was reported in 1961, soon after methicillin entered clinics (1959). The UK Review on AMR projected up to 10 million deaths a year by 2050 if resistance were left unchecked — a scenario, not a census.
Stewardship means using the right agent for the right syndrome for an appropriate duration — a clinical judgement, not leftover pills. Hospitals, farms and wastewater are linked classrooms. Genes ride plasmids between species; that is why stewardship is social, not only personal.

This page is not a laboratory manual for creating resistant strains. It is a public-health atlas of how a miracle class of drugs is being spent. Policy arrived late: a global action plan in 2015, a famous economic review in 2016, a pathogen priority list in 2017.
Fleming sees a mould zone on staphylococci; a medicine arrives only after 1940s production. A carbapenemase later named NDM-1 shows how travel and hospitals can move last-line failure genes.
This is education from the atlas. It does not diagnose and does not prescribe a dose. It does not replace the full topic page.
