Reporter:
- Antibiotic resistance is on the rise, and we are
potentially facing a time when standard antibiotics
simply won't work anymore. Why is antibiotic
resistance becoming more widespread?
Chemist:
- One reason could be that a type of bacteria has
developed molecular mechanisms that actually
make an antibiotic drug ineffective.
Reporter:
- Why is the increase in bacterial resistance
considered a threatening issue?
Chemist:
- ----
Reporter:
- This sounds horrible!

The misuse of antibiotics has certainly contributed to the resistance phenomena. A lot of antibiotics are used in farming, which is practised without complete control. |
|
We should prevent them from producing toxins that lead to illness rather than kill them. That kind of intervention can reduce the chances that the bacteria will develop resistance. |
|
Whenever any pressure is put on bacteria, it will resist. If such pressure is not created, there will be no evolutionary pressure for the bacteria to develop resistance. |
|
If new drugs are not developed against these resistant bacteria, by the year 2050, death from antimicrobial resistant bacteria could actually even surpass death from cancer. |

I'm encouraged by the fact that there are more than 200 different bacteria species that live in our guts, and the majority of them are actually beneficial to us. |
