Many people in Britain now fear hospitalization almost as much as injury or illness, due to a rising rate of hospital-related staph infections. 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.
