The local salt flats offer two highly sought-after commodities: lithium, used in the manufacture of batteries, and bacteria, essential in the fight against growing antibiotic resistance.

“The planet is currently experiencing a global antibiotic resistance crisis. This is contributing to the deaths of five million people a year.”
