World without antibiotic - A great talk by Maryn McKenna !!

Drug-resistant bacteria mean we're entering a post-antibiotic world where even a simple cut could turn into a fatal situation.
It would be natural to hope that these infections are extraordinary cases, but in fact, in the United States and Europe, 50,000 people a year die of infections which no drugs can help. A project chartered by the British government known as the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance estimates that the worldwide toll right now is 700,000 deaths a year.
A nice Ted Talk by Maryn McKenna.
