# Why won’t antibiotics cure us anymore

Antibiotics are lifesavers. But for how long? Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem and may claim as many as 10 million lives per year by the year 2050. That's more than all deaths caused by cancer combined. Chemist prof. dr. Nathaniel Martin (Leiden University) states that it's time for action. He explains how we can fix this problem. A special thanks to Nora Brüchle who reproduced Alexander Fleming's experiment for this video.
