To all those who told the truth about antibiotics.

About The Book

A medical disaster looms on the horizon.

Antibiotic effectiveness is failing while strains of life-threatening multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) continue to rise. Vaccines cannot solve the problem. Newer and stronger drugs can’t cure it. More research is unnecessary because we already know the root cause: overuse of antibiotics. 

Dr. Peter Patterson understands that using antibiotics “just in case” is ingrained in our culture. Everyone, from health care professionals to patients and their advocates, shares the blame—but we cannot afford to let the practice continue. Becoming Good Stewards of Antibiotics is a call to action to restore and preserve antibiotic effectiveness.
