Antibiotics – the molecular atomic bombs

Antibiotics are often hailed as miracle cures against infections—but could these broad-spectrum drugs be acting as molecular atomic bombs against our microbiome?

Drawing on powerful examples, this episode explores how antibiotics frequently fail to fully heal, instead triggering lasting damage—from loss of microbial diversity to dangerous antibiotic resistance, such as with Clostridium difficile.

A critical look into the hidden costs of antibiotic overuse and the urgent need for a shift in awareness.
