In a question-and-answer format, it unpacks the most complicated aspects of this issue, including: How antibiotics are used (and overused)in humans, plants, and livestock; the causes and consequences of bacterial resistance to antibiotics; how the globalized world enables antibiotic resistance to spread quickly; and the difficult decisions ahead for both medical care and the food system.Grounded in the latest scientific research and crafted for general readers, Antibiotics: What Everyone Needs to KnowRG offers a clear-eyed overview of where we are, and what the future holds, as antibiotics lose their power.
