Dr Makrina Totsika and Dr Willa Huston will discuss how the overuse and misuse of antibiotics since their discovery has led to a current public health crisis of global proportions. This seminar will explain how bacteria become superbugs, what the consequences are for individual patients and public health care, and how scientists are leveraging improved understanding of superbugs to develop new classes of drugs that can be used to combat them in the near future.
