The series will be a fictional murder mystery that tries to understand why the effectiveness of antibiotics- arguably the cornerstone of all modern medicine- is declining at such a rapid pace.

To dramatise the issues involved, our story is set ten years ahead in the future and also assumes that all classes of antibiotics are finally dead and presumably ‘murdered’ by culprits ranging from industry and health ministries to doctors and patients alike. The ‘murder weapons’ used, among other blunt and sharp instruments, have been decades of indiscriminate use of antibiotics and even their abuse in areas such as animal factory farming.

The task of Shlomes, Whatsup and others in the series is to find out whodunit! They do all this with the help of the latter’s precocious 10 year old daughter Doalot who has the amazing ability to communicate with animals, insects and microbes. To add an element of fun while giving some more depth to the issues we are dealing with also are the characters of Sprayalot, mother of Doalot who is under the control of Dr Control Freak who wants to kill all the bacteria in the world and take over the planet.
