In recent years, antibiotic resistance has risen to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. Prof Timothy Walsh from the University of Cardiff told the BBC News website it's a case of "when not if" for this global resistance.
It can take us back to before antibiotics were invented. We could end up in a future which is more looking like the past. A future where an STI could kill you and rare disease could return to the community. Can we do anything to help the antibiotics resistance in the future?

Uddrag
The standard treatment back then was fresh air. It’s a bacterial infection spread by people coughing and sneezing. It used to be rife in the UK.
It mainly attacks the lungs, but it can damage any part of the body, that includes the glands, bones, and nervous system. Because of the antibiotics, it’s a much rare disease now.
Until the 1930s giving birth was far more dangerous than now. In childbirth, both mothers and babies regular died. The risk today of dying during birth is between 40 to 50 times lower than it was just 60 years ago.
