Our backyards are full of resistant microbes. In this episode, we find out how they spread through all living organisms - including our pets, our farm animals and our wildlife. We head to the south coast of Australia for some birdwatching, and find out why migratory birds act as a "canary in the coal mine" for the spread of superbugs in our environment and why we need to pay more attention to this. We speak to vets and pet owners about the use of antibiotics in our much-loved pets. We consider an approach to antimicrobial stewardship known as One Health or 'planetary health' that considers the interconnected health of entire planet - humans, animals and the environment.Host and producer: Dr Britta Jorgensen. Producers: Sarah Mashman and Silvi Vann-Wall. Executive Producer: Professor Mia Lindgren.
