Antibiotics may soon be useless against infections

Antibiotics may soon be useless against infections  The country is on the brink of a ‘post-antibiotic’ era in which infections will only be cured by fresh air and sunshine, the chief medical officer has warned.

She is also concerned about the emergence of resistant forms of TB which are not responding to antibiotics. The Daily Mail
