A recording of the UCL Medical Sciences Public Lecture that took place on 23 March 2021 featuring UCL's Professor Tim McHugh, Director of UCL Centre for Clinical Microbiology.
Event description
Antibiotic resistance has been a threat since the very early days of its use in clinical practice. However, despite the threat, medicine in the 20th Century moved forward in leaps and bounds under the cover of the new antibiotics that were being developed. In this talk, using examples from our research at UCL, Tim will explore the factors that have led to the expansion of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). He will look deeper into three themes – the individual bacterium, transmission of bacteria and finally how bacterial communities drive resistance.
Over the last 12 months, we have been looking the other way, but the AMR pandemic not only continues but finds new expression in the world that changes in response to SARS-CoV-2. The AMR pandemic is definitely not gone and cannot be forgotten.
