The Next Pandemic: Antimicrobial Resistance and You | Dr Srijan Jindal | TEDxNorthwich

Bacteria are rapidly developing resistance to antibiotics, resulting in increasing deaths due to Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and increased healthcare burden. Srijan Jindal, multi-award winner with a PhD in microbiology, talks about how AMR could be the next and more deadly pandemic. He highlights the actions that individuals must take to stop the development of AMR, save antibiotics and also the lives of millions of people.
Srijan is the Co-Founder & Chief Scientific Officer of
a diagnostic company that is building a rapid point-of-
care diagnostic kit for Urinary Tract Infections which
will reduce the rise of antimicrobial resistance. With a
PhD in microbiology he wants to share his passion for
science. His talk will be exploring how antimicrobial
resistance could lead to the next pandemic This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

The concept of AMR has been brilliantly explained by Dr. Srijan. Hope it will reach and educate the masses. Dr. Srijan's communication skills were also on spot.👍👍

Really a wonderful talk by Dr. Srijan. It is quite informative for the public who are taking antibiotics without knowing its consequences. An eye-opener fact towards the ill effects of antibiotics that are consumed without any prescription or proper diagnosis. Thanks for sharing the much needed information regarding AMR. I'm feeling proud of you as your interest in research initiated from our lab. Best wishes.

Wow amazing talk. We’ll done

Good points raised by Srijan! Even though I knew the science behind it, people around me were hard to convince that soap is superior to sanitizer! The so-called hygiene freaks were obsessed with dabbing sanitizer at every minor inconvenience. And yeah, viruses, bacteria and even vectors such as mosquitoes are becoming more resistant to the traditional deterrents. Flu and viral fever last longer nowadays with aggravated symptoms. We might actually be one wrong mutation away from another pandemic. But are we ready to take on something we don't know of yet?

god did nothing to help you. If anything he is responsible for your infection. Thank the medical professionals and researchers that saved you

[@noodlessoul8356]

But for example, for bacterial infections such as ear infection would you still take antibiotics?

[@srijanist]
