This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Dr. Dianne Fair discusses antibiotics, antibiotic resistance and optional therapies for treatment of infectious disease. With global economy, increasing populations and travel, healthcare is fighting an uphill battle against microorganisms such as Staphylococcus bacteria or E. coli that were once easily defeated. We need options as stronger and stronger antibiotic resistant microbes are playing a bigger role in our health and that of our loved ones.
