264 p. Antibiotics save countless lives and make modern medicine possible. They keep us alive during and after birth, when we face sudden infections, need common surgeries, or need to manage long-term challenges like diabetes and cancer. Now diseases caused by superbugs that defeat antibiotics are on the rise – and there are no longer any cures. Imagine a world where a simple cut can be lethal and going to the hospital is a death sentence. This hidden pandemic of superbugs is one of the deadliest to hit our world.
