This program examines the threat posed by MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and assesses the medical establishment’s ability to fight it. Two divergent perspectives are featured: from doctors who perform every anti-MRSA procedure available, and from hospital patients who have nevertheless become infected. Meanwhile, experiments under way at the Royal Botanic Gardens—directed by Professor Monique Simmonds, an expert on the antimicrobial properties of fungi—suggest the potential to one day defeat MRSA.

This video is part of the Kill or Cure series.\n
