This timely and compelling program explores the facts and myths of resistant bacteria and antibiotics. Are we in danger of losing these lifesaving drugs?

If you have ever taken an antibiotic, this is a story you don't want to miss. Find out what the future holds in this era of intentional infection and bio-terrorism.

More and more bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. We take antibiotics like candy, and just to be safe, we put anti-microbial agents in everything from cleaning products to toothpaste.

Are we disinfecting ourselves to death? What do antibiotics actually do? How do bacteria become resistant? What can we do to preserve our antibiotic lifeline? What is it like to deal with a life-threatening, resistant infection?

Hear what the experts have to say about these questions, the new threat of bio-terrorism and what the future holds for us and antibiotics.
