Today I am joined by Dr Vanessa Marcelino at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research in Australia, who is here to talk about the problems associated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and how this is not being helped by the agricultural industry giving livestock antibiotics to increase growth, how antibiotic-resistant genes could possibly be deleted or gradually deactivated in the absence of selection pressure due to antibiotics and how antibiotic resistance genes are showing up as far away as in antarctic penguins!
