What would a world without antibiotics be like?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Antibiotics are thought to have added an average of 20 years to people’s lives, but if we carry on using them at our current rate, and with an empty pipeline of new antibiotics, millions of people per year would die from drug resistant infections. Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies joins Brian Cox and Robin Ince to discuss the impact ineffectual antibiotics would have. First broadcast on Infinite Monkey Cage, 22 January 2018.
