How serious is antibiotic resistance, what causes it, and what are scientists doing to fight it? In this video I talk about some of the most promising recent developments to develop new antibiotics and fight bacteria.

The recent report in The Lancet about antibiotic resistance that I mention in the introduction is this:

The WHO website about antibiotic resistance is hers:

The study which used artificial intelligence to look for new antibiotics is this:
