Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health issue, but how bad is it and what can be done?
Antimicrobial resistance is a major global health issue, and the problem is increasing. From personal experience and research projects I will show how antimicrobials are shaping the rapid evolution of bacterial populations, the crisis they are causing and what can be done to challenge this trajectory.
