#antibiotics — Public Fediverse posts

God I love my Spanish and Greek friends but like always when I get an infection I need to sit in pain for 2 weeks because doctors in those countries and more fling out #antibiotics like its candy. My mum sick in cancer have to lie in pain as they try to find antibiotics that still works because places like #espana and #greece just hand stuff out like its candy and now strains of bacteria are resistant... Gah!

Big Picture Science for Sep. 29, 2025: Not Just a Phage

REPEAT
We’re hurtling towards a post-antibiotic world, as the overuse of antibiotics has given rise to dangerous drug-resistant bacteria. Can we fight back using viruses as weapons? An obscure medical therapy uses certain viruses called bacteriophages to treat infection. For a century attempts to turn phage-therapy into a life-saving treatment have faltered, but today there’s renewed interest in this approach. Can we use phages to forestall the antibiotic crisis?

Guests:

* Claas Kirchhelle – Medical historian at the University College, Dublin
* Tom Ireland – Journalist, editor of The Biologist and author of “The Good Virus: The Amazing Story and Forgotten Promise of the Phage”
* Steffanie Strathdee – Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences at the University of California San Diego
* Tom Patterson – Professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego
