Screening of the documentary film ‘RESISTANCE’ followed by a panel discussion (Cinema 1, Chapter, 20th February 2022)
The screening of the documentary film ‘RESISTANCE‘ was followed by a panel discussion where the audience could ask questions.
A number of topics were discussed including health, well-being and infection, antibiotic usage in veterinary medicine and farming, antibiotic prescribing, how infections are diagnosed and treated with antibiotics, developing rapid diagnostics for infections, how antimicrobial resistance develops and spreads between people and who is responsible for taking action against antimicrobial resistance.
