  abstract = {{G}iven the proliferation of cataclysmic predictions about antibiotic resistance, cases of which are estimated to amount to 12 500 per year in {F}rance, we herein decided to compare the empirical clinical microbiology data from our institution with estimates and predictions from 10 major international scientific articles and reports. {T}he analysis of 7 years of antibiotic resistance data from 10 bacterial species and genera of clinical interest from our institution identified no deaths that were directly attributable to extremely drug-resistant bacteria. {B}y comparing our observations to the 10 articles and reports studied herein, we concluded that their results lack empirical data. {I}nterventions are urgently needed to significantly reduce both mortality and the healthcare costs associated with bacterial infections, including the implementation of local and national laboratory data-based surveillance systems for the routine surveillance of antibiotic resistance that would be helpful for a better understanding of how to manage antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the future.},
