Antibiotic resistance is perhaps one of the most frightening threats to humanities future that is happening today. It means the lifesavings drugs that make survival from disease and surgeries could be a thing of the past not long into our future and in some cases already are. The extensive overuse of antibiotics throughout mainstream medicine diminishes the effectiveness of our super-drugs and has resulted in the rise of super-bugs. Every year more people die from previously curable illness and whatever the solution is, it is certain that something must be done.
I like your presentation and poster. However, the one question I do have is do you think this resistance will be the reason for humans to become extinct?
It’s good to see there are some solutions to the problem, but do you think they will be implemented in time? Would laws need to be put in place to prevent people from having easy access to antibiotics and only provide them when necessary, for example?
