TED-Ed: How can we solve the antibiotic resistance crisis?

Antibiotics are crucial for modern medicine, but bacterial resistance is a growing threat. Historically, antibiotics were overprescribed, leading to resistance. New antibiotics are less profitable, and pharmaceutical companies have shifted focus. Agriculture's use of antibiotics exacerbates resistance. Innovative solutions like phages and vaccines show promise, but funding is inadequate. Economic models and policy changes are needed to incentivize development and control use, ensuring antibiotics remain effective.
