What are antimicrobials and what do they serve for?

Antimicrobials are life-saving medicines that revolutionized our society. Diseases that were once fatal became routine illnesses, requiring only a simple treatment. Among these, antibiotics are widely used antimicrobials to treat bacterial infections. They work by killing or limiting the growth of the bacteria that make humans and animals sick.

“I aim to draw attention to the things we tend to take for granted in everyday life. Like electricity in our homes, antimicrobials were still unimaginable just over a hundred years ago. Diseases that once seemed deadly and inevitable have today become largely treatable. That is why I invite the viewer to pause for a moment, dive into this colorful and diverse world, and reflect on the invisible helpers who make it all possible.”
