Antibiotic Resistance
Student Prize and Official selection of the World Health Organization Health for All Film Festival 2020 - Category 2 - Animation films https://www.who.int/film-festival
You probably have heard the term ‘ Antibiotic Resistance ’, but are you sure you know what exactly it means? Rest assured, even people who have learned about antibiotic resistance in their undergraduate classes still have some major misconceptions regarding it.
In this short video, we explain what antibiotic resistance (or bacterial resistance to antibiotics) actually is, and what are the processes that make it a serious problem to human health. If you have more questions about the subject, or want to discuss some of the simplifications made in this video, please post them below! We’ll try to answer them to the best of our knowledge, or refer you to online resources.
