Podcast episode: What can we do to combat antibiotic resistance, Agata Dorotkiewicz-Jach?

Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges facing modern medicine. The reason for this is that it threatens the effectiveness of treatments and puts millions of people at risk. But what if the solution to the problem could be found in nature itself?

In the new episode of the Arqus podcast "Knowledge Pills", microbiologist Agata Dorotkiewicz-Jach (University of Wrocław) talks about pioneering and sustainable antibacterial therapies. The expert is researching new treatment methods. These include bacteriophages, herbal agents and antivirulent therapies. All of these methods could have the potential to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Dorotkiewicz-Jach also provides insights into the effects of climate change on antibiotic resistance and emphasises the need for global cooperation.
