A Level Biology Revision "Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance" (OCR)

You can find all my A Level Biology videos fully indexed at https://www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/...

In this video, we look at antibiotics and antibiotic resistance. First we explore how antibiotics work. We then look at why antibiotics cannot be used to treat viral diseases. Lastly we explore antibiotic resistance, looking at Staphylococcus aureus and Clostridium difficile.
