Why should we care about antibiotics being in the environment? How does it impact us? And what do we mean by "One Health"?

In this episode, we talk to Professor Barbara Kasprzyk, a researcher from the University of Bath, Kurt Arden from the Royal Veterinary College and University College London, and Professor David Graham, Professor of Ecosystems Engineering at Newcastle University, who talks us through how antimicrobials get into the environment via our livestock and agriculture sectors, and why this is a problem.

Hosted by Dr. Alex Lathbridge.

Produced by Hiren Joshi, Lizzy Ratcliffe, and Dr. Hannah Macdonald. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
