Bactéries résistantes : Comment se contamine-t-on ? - Le monde de Jamy

"Antibiotics: Beware of Overdosing!": Watch the new episode of Jamy's World on Monday, February 16th at 9:05 PM on France 5 and on france.tv 👉 https://www.france.tv/france-5/le-mon... "Antibiotics aren't automatic"... and yet we continue to consume far too many. Due to overuse, antibiotics are now proving ineffective against certain bacteria. The situation is urgent: this "antibiotic resistance" could soon become the leading cause of death worldwide, warns the WHO. How did we get here? The discovery of penicillin in 1928 saved millions of lives. Jamy explains how antibiotics, which the French are so fond of, work. And how new bacteria resistant to them have developed. Is there a risk of finding them even on our plates? Antibiotics are also used in livestock farming, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria can colonize our beef or chicken. So, how can we avoid them? How can we prevent their spread? With Jamy, we learn the right precautions to take at the doctor's office, at work, with family, and when we travel. Jamy also introduces us to the fascinating work of scientists searching for new, more effective molecules in the fungi of our forests. Because the question now is: how long can our current antibiotics keep us safe?
