Basic Medicine:The Nature of Things——Antibiotics Growing Resistance
Few of us can remember a time before antibiotics, when bacterial diseases like tuberculosis, syphilis and meningitis were common killers. The advent of antibiotics changed much of that. But now, doctors fear new drug-resistant bacteria could return us to a pre-antibiotic age. So we're reaching a fairly critical period.
