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. Unchecked, it will cause greater economic damage and kill more people than COVID-19. In this gripping and eye-opening book, microbiologist Anirban Mahapatra explains what led to this hidden pandemic, what’s at stake, and what we can do in this war against our deadly invisible enemies.
