‘BBC Radio 4 – Costing the Earth: Swimming in Superbugs’
Ellen Husain investigates the presence of pathogens in the marine environment. She learns from Dr Anne Leonard and Prof Will Gaze (two of our PhD supervisors based at the University of Exeter) how surfers and regular sea swimmers may be more likely to have antimicrobial resistant bacteria in their bodies, and finds out about the ways in which antibiotics find their way into our oceans. Is the way we manage our seas actually fuelling the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria and increasing the risk of untreatable disease in future? Link to the programme here:
