The End Of Antibiotics

This article published in England describes how overuse of antibiotics may shortly lead to complete ineffectiveness of antibiotics. This will lead to human deaths and livestock deaths.

The era of antibiotics is coming to a close. In just a couple of generations, what once appeared to be miracle medicines have been beaten into ineffectiveness by the bacteria they were designed to knock out. Once, scientists hailed the end of infectious diseases. Now, the post-antibiotic apocalypse is within sight.
