Living with a superbug

In 2016, 54-year-old Craig was infected with Mycobacterium abscessus, a rare waterborne type of bacteria, during a routine operation.

The infection spread to his lungs, liver and kidneys, and his doctors found it was resistant to several antibiotics.

It took two months to find a cocktail of antibiotics that worked against the bacteria. Craig now continues his treatment at home, hoping to finish the antibiotics soon.
