Because of
constant use of disinfectants, a hospital is a place where only the fittest
microbes survive, a dilemma that raises the stakes of even routine surgical
procedures. This program looks at how germs develop partial or total
antibiotic resistance and how researchers are pursuing new lines of attack
to keep pace with these highly adaptive organisms. Computer imaging and
electron microscopy help illustrate how Legionella bacteria adapt to
harsh environments. The program concludes by looking at promising research
into symbiotic mechanisms in sea sponges that can repel antibiotic-resistant
staphylococcus. A Deutsche Welle Production. (26 minutes)
