A STIRRING EXAMINATION OF A LOOMING CRISIS Virtually everyone has
taken antibiotics. They can be lifesavers - or they can be useless.
But what are they? How are they used? And what happens as the
effectiveness of antibiotics begins to decline? Antibiotics: What
Everyone Needs to Know (R) examines the personal and societal
implications of our planet's most important - and arguably most
overused - medications. 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 consequences to date, and the potential crisis
ahead, as overuse of existing antibiotics breeds new resistance in
bacteria * How the globalized world enables antibiotic resistance
more quickly * Collateral damage, individually and societally, of
antibiotic use * The difficult decisions ahead related to medical
care and the food system Grounded in the latest scientific research
and translated for general readers, Antibiotics: What Everyone
Needs to Know (R) offers a clear-eyed overview of where we are, and
what the future holds, as antibiotics lose their might.
