Written by
Shannon Harmon, digital editor, Longitude Prize

How does antibiotic resistance affect the world and what can we do about it? 

The Longitude Prize and BIRAC are proud to bring you this short 10 minute film, following stories from India where antibiotic resistance is growing at a rapid rate. Interviews with doctors, patients and researchers all highlight the urgency of the problem. We also spoke with teams competing for the Longitude Prize to make rapid diagnostic tests that will hopefully help address the spread of superbugs in India and globally.
