How do we combat antibiotic resistance?| Dag Berild | TEDxArendal

Antibiotic resistance is rampant in the world, and we are moving towards dark ages when it comes to curing something as simple as a cut or a wound. Hear one of the leading experts in the field of resistance talk about what the problem is, how we can handle it and what human kind should do to protect one of our most valuable discoveries - Antibiotics.

Dag Berild is a professor and a senior consultant in infectious diseases at both the University of Oslo and Oslo University College. Berild’s research concerns the rational use of antibiotics and his aim is to prevent antibiotic resistance, and to strengthen doctors’ knowledge on antibiotics so that they in turn can improve antibiotic use and reduce this resistance. He has conducted several intervention studies to improve antibiotic use both in Norway and in Russia, and also heads the Study Group for rational antibiotic and trough his day-to-day work. In this talk he will explain why this matters, and paint a scary picture of a world without a cure if we do not start to adjust our thinking now.
