Although antibiotics have transformed the medical treatment of bacterial illness and offered hope to many patients with formerly deadly infections, the mishandling and misprescription of these drugs has transformed the bacterial population such that many antibiotics have partially or entirely lost their efficacy.
The problem is severe enough that many experts predict that if we don’t change how we use antibiotics, existing antibiotic therapies may be ineffective in the next century.
The question is—how do we keep these incredible drugs effective so they work when we need them?  Listen in as we talk with experts who are leading the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at Mayo Clinic.
