A good overview of antibiotics here in the university library.
"The prescription of antibiotics is a medical tightrope walk. The drugs save lives, but, because of overuse, may soon usher in a new era of super germs. This program outlines the discoveries of bacteria and penicillin and sheds light on the frightening emergence of multiresistant, often deadly microbes during the last six decades. Presenting interviews with researchers who are deeply involved with the issue--including Tufts University microbiology professor Stuart Levy and Eva Nathanson of the World Health Organization's Stop TB Program--the film examines the implications of antibiotic-enhanced livestock feed and the dangers that staphylococcus poses to hospital patients. Viewer discretion is advised. Contains footage of injections, surgeries, and open wounds."
