The Eyes of Nye - 109 - Antibiotics 3/3

Back


Finally someone insightfully tackles today's issues from a scientific perspective. In Bill Nye's new show The Eyes of Nye, Bill shows you that the battle between microbes and humans is far from over. In fact, deaths from infectious diseases have increased since the 1980s. Some of the rise is due to new "bugs" such as HIV and hepatitis C, but the alarming increase in antibiotic resistance is also responsible. Bill talks with experts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about new narrow-spectrum antibiotics and "bacteriocins" and demonstrates just how important hand-washing really is in the fight against germs. Enjoy, please rate and comment. Check out my other videos of The Eyes of Nye and Bill's old show, Bill Nye the Science Guy. http://www.eyesofnye.org/
