Antibiotic resistance – a new era of global health crisis
In a post-antibiotic world even the most common diseases will become life threatening. In the year 2050 ten million people will die from antimicrobial-resistant diseases with numbers rising if nothing is done. Thioredoxin Systems offers a solution to this health threat.
