Integrated Human Practices

Integrated Human Practice

Resistance of microorganisms against conventional antibiotics is rapidly increasing and major companies end their antibiotics research 1, therefore we drift towards an “post-antibiotic era”, if no urgent actions are taken. In many countries such as Tanzania, Vietnam and Nigeria, antimicrobial resistance is already a serious problem 2. We contacted and engaged with the public as well as various experts from academia and industry. In an interactive diagram, we portrayed all events that shifted our project to its final form. With the helpful input and feedback of many people from companies, research institutes and daily life, we advanced from therapeutic application to laying the foundation for the amazing abilities D-Amino acids provide.
