Description
Antibiotics: What Everyone Needs to Know explores the complex issue of our planet's most important - and frequently misused - medications. In a clear and concise format, it examines how antibiotics are used, their impact on bacterial resistance, and the globalized world that enables this resistance to spread quickly. The book delves into the personal and societal implications of antibiotic use, including their role in humans, plants, and livestock, as well as the difficult decisions ahead for medical care and the food system. Grounded in the latest scientific research, it offers a balanced overview of where we are, and what the future holds, as antibiotics lose their power. This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand the current state of antibiotic use and its consequences.
