PBS Vitals | What’s Next If Antibiotics Stop Working? @pbsvitals | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 6 minutes ago
STIs and other infections are increasingly resistant to antibiotics, and the U.N. calls it one of the top 10 public health threats to humanity. What’s driving it and what are the alternatives? Sheena and Alok look at some other tools - like phage therapy - that doctors are using to fight these superbugs. And how we can preserve the best treatment tools we have now.
🩺🥼 Vitals is a series that’s taking a new approach to health and medicine. Hosts Alok Patel, MD, and Sheena Williams RN are going beyond the headlines to answer your questions on the latest health topics. No judgment, no taboos. Just 100% science-based information.
