There are growing concerns about antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections which have been labelled a new pandemic.

“All the medical care that you take for granted is underpinned by antibiotics… without antibiotics, bacterial infections become untreatable and deadly.” Alarming that we have untreatable infections because of antibioticresistance which leads to amputations and takes us back 100 years!
