The threat of antibiotic resistance is growing—fast. In this video, Ankit Mahadevia explains that annual deaths from antibiotic resistance in the U.S. are equivalent to a jumbo jet-full of people crashing every week.

Mahadevia, CEO of Spero Therapeutics, describes the helpless feeling of seeing patients with infections that don’t respond to any available antibiotics. He also underscores the importance of recent, incremental policy changes that support antibiotic innovation and emphasizes the need to do more.
