Antibiotics: The Perfect StormAntibiotics: The Perfect Storm

Antibiotics are truly miracle drugs. As a class, they are one of the only ones that actually cure disease as opposed to most drugs that only help relieve symptoms or control disease. Since bacteria that cause serious disease in humans are becoming more and more resistant to the antibiotics we have today, and because they will ultimately become resistant to any antibiotic that we use for treatment or for anything else, we need a steady supply of new antibiotics active against any resistant bacteria that arise.

Allies and Enemies: How the World Depends on BacteriaAllies and Enemies: How the World Depends on Bacteria

Bacteria: How they keep you alive. How they can kill you. How we can all live together happily.
Bacteria are invisible, mysterious, deadly, self-sufficient … and absolutely essential for all life, including yours. No other living things combine their elegant simplicity with their incredibly complex role: Bacteria keep us alive, supply our food, and regulate our biosphere. We can’t live a day without them, and no chemical, antibiotic, or irradiation has ever successfully eradicated them.
