Antibiotic Resistance. Stopping the Superbugs
Description
Antibiotics were once seen as super drugs. They rapidly disarmed pneumonia and many other previously fatal bacterial conditions. They also had relatively few side effects. But the bacteria weren't ready to surrender. Strains emerged that were resistant to the world's most potent medicines, and now, because of these resistant strains of bacteria, we're facing a worldwide crisis. This episode of Healthy Body, Healthy Mind shows how the problem developed over the years and explains what the experts believe we need to do to win the battle.
