As worrying levels of resistance to antibiotic drugs develop across the world, a cross-disciplinary team at the University of Liverpool is leading cutting-edge multidisciplinary research to tackle this global challenge
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to modern healthcare. In 2019, almost 5 million people lost their lives due to resistance to antibiotic medicines, and this number is only set to rise as microorganisms evolve.
An episode of the THE Connect podcast, produced in partnership with the University of Liverpool, explored how leading researchers at the university are tackling this problem, from developing new antibiotics to changing the behaviours that lead to their misuse.
