According to the World Health Organisation, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria and viruses no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. As a result, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. AMR is now directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths and contributes to 5 million deaths every year. 

So what progress are we making? And what needs to happen next to prevent a future where routine infections become untreatable?

Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by experts Dr Alex Howard, a consultant in Medical Microbiology, and Dr Nada Reza, a Clinical Research Training Fellow, to discuss AMR, and the critical research taking place in Liverpool.
