How can we solve the antibiotic resistance crisis?
Speaker
About this talk
Antibiotics: behind the scenes, they enable much of modern medicine. We use them to cure infectious diseases, and to safely facilitate everything from surgery to chemotherapy to organ transplants. But we've stopped discovering new ones and we're at risk of losing them forever. How did we get into this situation? Gerry Wright shares what we can do about antibiotic resistance. [Directed by Artrake Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Stephen LaRosa].
