A Problem of Access and Excess – Antibiotic Resistance

In this episode of the One World, One Health podcast, Dr. Otto Cars, a senior professor of infectious diseases at Uppsala University in Sweden and the founder and senior adviser to ReAct - Action on Antibiotic Resistance, recounts the history of the battle to control antimicrobial resistance.

Antibiotic resistance has been a problem for years. Bacteria, although small, have been fighting for survival for billions of years. Many bacteria have developed the tools they need to evade the effects of antibiotic treatments, and they can trade these weapons with other bacteria as they swap genetic material.
Dr. Cars says he has hope for turning around the impending dystopia of a world without antibiotics. Listen as he shares what he hopes will come from the upcoming UNGA high level meeting on the problem.
