Have you ever looked at your microbiology lab report and wondered "What does resistant mean anyway?"
We're sure you have (and if you haven't you should have)! And conveniently we've recorded this podcast episode to explain how it all works! We talk through the definition of S, I & R, plus some explanation on the science behind these letters.

This is the first in the new Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) mini series. Make sure to listen to this one first!

Lyrics:

Tryin’ to use some drugs to kill these bugs

Erin and Julie are PK PD thugs

Gonna make these two ID:IOTS look like mugs

It’s gonna be a Breakpoints Breakout

Sorry the song sounds so tinny, Podcast host is doing something strange to it. Link to original MP3 here.

Jame was there but Callum wasn't! The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy have several conferences throughout the year, including a Spring meeting with their AGM. But what topics were discussed, I hear you wonder? WELL WONDER NO MORE: Jame'll take you through it!
