Rise of the Superbugs
Before the advent of antibiotics in the 1930s it was not uncommon for people to die of pneumonia or appendicitis, and medical procedures we now take for granted were impossible to perform due to the risk of deadly infection. It's hard to imagine returning to that era, but many believe that if the problem of drug-resistant bacteria is not sufficiently addressed, it's a future we'll have to face. This program examines the rise of superbugs, introducing patients with uncontrollable infections and visiting places where antibiotics misuse is breeding multi-drug resistance. In particular, the video looks at the case of India's NDM-1, an enzyme that is able to genetically modify bacteria to turn them into superbugs.

- "It's difficult to imagine a world without antibiotics and yet, before the twentieth century, there weren't any. The discovery of the first antibiotic, penicillin, and the subsequent development of more "wonder drugs," transformed the face of modern medicine. This program chronicles these successes as well as the growing threat posed by new strains of germs, such as tuberculosis and staph, that are resistant to our best antibiotics."
