Sigfrido Ranucci's team, thanks to the investigative work of journalists Ciccolella and Valesini, uncovers a gigantic theme that risks mortgaging our future.
“If we lose the effectiveness of antibiotics, we lose much of modern medicine” Evelina Tacconelli warns in the book, among the leading experts in Italy. And that's exactly what's happening and that this book reveals with unpublished documents, precious testimonies of Italian and international experts, but also painful and incredible stories of ordinary people, which concern us because they could be those of each of us.
The text is divided into 9 chapters and related subparagraphs:
1. The perfect storm
2. Men versus bacteria
3. What we talk about when we talk about antibiotic resistance
4. Drugs everywhere: an environmental emergency
5. Pncar, another pandemic plan
6. Why it is not worth investing in antibiotics
7. The interests of Big Pharma
8. A proposal for the future
9. Handbook of self-defense against bacteria
In this video interview (click on the image above to see it) let's talk about theantibiotic resistancei.e. the fact that bacteria are getting stronger and stronger. Because of our behaviors, antibiotics no longer work. Our host is Cataldo Ciccolella, born in 1980, married with children, he is a lover of Asia but also of Aristotelian logic. He made his debut in the world of documentary and institutional communication. Arrived 
in Rai in 2007, he has always dealt with information. Since 2010 he has been a Reports, where it collects and analyzes reports and deals with economic investigations and international investigations, also collaborating with the ICIJ, Occrp and Ebu consortia.
The authors in the introductory pages write (click on the image on the left): “There is a series of individual, corporate, business and institutional responsibilities that deserve to be placed under the magnifying glass of the investigation. Hence the need to use the tools of investigative journalism to generate a change in public perception of the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). That is the reason for this book. We will tell both the causes of the Italian disaster and the influences of big industry on the European institutions, which in turn are not very effective in combating antibiotic resistance”.
The responsibilities of multinationals are great pharmaceutical companies, which with increasingly invasive lobbying actions, seek to direct the new European legislation on medicines. All in the name of profit. It is happening in recent months and in general silence. The book tells it by taking us into the most private rooms where decisions affecting us and our future are made. An important investigation, full of information and full of passion, which honors investigative journalism.
