Multi-resistant bacteria

Course subject(s) 5. Biomechanical Engineering

Why is it such a problem if a few bacteria are transferred from one patient to another? Well, in a hospital many patients are already very weak and can’t fight even minor infections.

But we have antibiotics, don’t we? Yes, we do, but it is becoming more and more important to limit the use of antibiotics and to consider antibiotics as a last resort. In this video you will learn about the hidden war against super bugs that our world is in right now.  (This video was made by http://kurzgesagt.org/. Want to support their awesome work?
