Description

"Antibiotic Resistance" delves into the escalating global crisis of bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics, primarily due to their overuse and misuse in both healthcare and agriculture. The documentary emphasizes the alarming rise in antibiotic prescriptions and their extensive application in farming, where they are often used to promote growth in livestock. This widespread misuse is leading to common bacterial infections, once easily treated with antibiotics, becoming harder to combat, signaling a potential public health emergency. Experts in the film warn that if this trend continues unchecked, the world could face a future where even minor infections or routine surgeries pose significant risks due to the lack of effective antibiotics. The documentary underscores the urgent need for global action, improved antibiotic stewardship, and alternative strategies to tackle this looming crisis, which threatens millions of lives worldwide.
