        By working together to make sure we only take antibiotics when we really need them and taking the whole course of antibiotics so that the number of resistant bacteria can be limited. We really need to stop giving animals antibiotics as a preventative measure as well.
        It’s a really hard task but I think we can do it!

        I agree with Jonny. I think the answer to this lies in working together and in finding a compromise between better agriculture practices, better medical guidance and investing in research.
