Last night, the PBS show Frontline aired a new documentary about antibiotic resistance and the growing risks we all face from the increasingly untreatable bacteria that live in both hospitals and our communities. Starting at noon Eastern/11:00 Central, I’ll be moderating a live web chat with the documentary’s producers and infectious disease expert Dr. Sean Elliot. We’ll be talking about the film, but we’ll also be taking your questions and trying to add some context to the fear. We know antibiotic resistance is a big problem. So what can we actually do about it?
You can follow along with the chat and submit questions here:
And here’s Frontline’s page on the documentary and this conversation.
