The rapid evolution of bacteria mean our antibiotics are becoming less and less effective. What does the future look like for antimicrobial resistance, and what alternatives do we have in the fight against life-threatening infectious diseases?
In the field of public health alone, climate change will in some way impact every area of this broad, diverse discipline.
