Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are valuable given their broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and their high penetration into various tissues. Yet FQs have also caused concern, with some market withdrawals, important and sometimes long-lasting adverse drug events, and substantial collateral effects on the microbiota. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Emily McDonald and Thomas Tängdén invite Staffan Tevell (Karlstad, Sweden) and Bernadette Young (Oxford, UK) to weigh in on the pro-con debate of FQ use, especially for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), which can entail longer treatment durations. They review the standard of care for PJIs, including FQs in combination with rifampicin vs other antibiotic combinations, the impact of the OVIVA trial advocating for early oral switch strategies, the long list of rare but important side effects, and how best to preserve FQs for clinical indications that most need them.      This episode is a follow-up from Tevell and Young's recently published systematic review of the role of FQs in PJIs [1]. It was edited by Kathryn Hostettler and peer reviewed by Ljiljana Lukić of University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb, Croatia. The executive producer of Communicable is Angela Huttner. ReferencesTevell S, et al. To heal or harm: A systematic review of the role of fluoroquinolones in periprosthetic joint infections.

In this podcast, Emma Sutherland teams up with gut naturopath Matt Douglas to unravel the clinical complexity of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) - a condition that's far more common and stubborn than many practitioners realise. Together they dive deep into the pathophysiology, testing methods, and diagnostic challenges of SIBO, exploring why it's often misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Matt brings a clear, practical approach to treatment - covering herbal antimicrobials including oregano, berberine, and allicin, the well-researched and clinically supported pharmaceutical option Rifaximin and his thoughts on dietary therapies like the Elemental Diet. But the real value lies in his relapse prevention strategies, which emphasise the importance of motility agents and gut repair support — such as partially hydrolysed guar gum (PHGG), Saccharomyces boulardii, globe artichoke, and a proprietary six-herb combination — to help restore long-term digestive resilience. Whether you're new to SIBO or managing chronic cases, this is essential listening for practitioners ready to level up their gut health toolkit.

For most of human history, even a simple scrape could turn deadly. Then came antibiotics. They were powerful, mysterious, and world-changing. But what exactly are they? Where did they come from, and how do they work? In this episode, the Infectious Minds student podcasters step into the studio to bring you the science and share the story behind one of medicine's most important discoveries.

I've shared so much over the years about my boys' healing journeys. About the years of struggle, battling every symptom that made us feel like something was wrong but no one could give us answers. The unhealthy poops, the rashes, the constant restless sleep, the allergies, the speech delays, the meltdowns and behavioral struggles that left us questioning everything. And how, through it all, rebalancing their guts didn't just completely heal their bodies... It changed our entire lives. It changed me as a mother, and as a woman.But one part of the story I haven't told enough… is my husband Ty's.When we first started rebalancing our family, it wasn't just about the kids. Ty was quietly carrying decades of symptoms that, at the time, felt totally normal.He grew up as a competitive swimmer which meant constant chlorine exposure, chronic ear infections and round after round of antibiotics, year after year. Then came the teenage acne, the Accutane, the antidepressants, and the sleeping medications. The list just kept growing.It wasn't until we adopted a microbiome lifestyle (the one that healed out boys)  that everything finally started to make sense for Ty. The decade of addiction, anxiety, depression, the constant food cravings, and the feeling that he was never fully present in his own body… it all traced back to the same root. Gut health touches every single part of who we are.This week, Ty is joining me on the podcast for a raw, vulnerable conversation about his journey. We're diving deep into his past, and how for the first time in his life, he's living medication-free and thriving.If you've ever wondered how your childhood exposures, gut health, or even your own microbiome might be influencing your mental health, your cravings, your hormones, or your child's health… this episode is for you.Coming from a man who was very skeptical in the beginning, someone who questioned whether any of this could really heal our boys, let alone change his own life, his story is living proof that it absolutely can. P.S. This might be THE episode to sit down and listen to with your partner, especially if they are on the fence about all of this microbiome talk.

In this conversation, we talk to Dr. Diana Stafford to discuss the often-overlooked issues of mold, candida, and gut dysfunction. We explore the symptoms associated with theseconditions, the importance of awareness and testing, and the role of antibiotics in gut health. Dr. Stafford shares insights on how to identify symptoms, the significance of binders, and the complexities of treatment. The discussion also covers the importance of home assessments for mold, preventionstrategies, and the resources available for those seeking help.Dr. Stafford has a few books out, including Inner Journey - Gut HealthConquering Mold CandidaYou can find out more at https://vibrant-wellness.com/for-patientstakeawaysMold and candida can cause systemic symptoms beyond the typical expectations.The gut plays a crucial role in overall health and wellness.Antibiotics can disrupt gut balance, leading to issues like candida overgrowth.Testing for mold and candida is essential for accurate diagnosis.Symptoms can vary widely among individuals, making awareness critical.Binders can help eliminate toxins from the body after antibiotic use.Mold colonization can occur in the body, particularly in the sinuses and gut.Genetics can influence how individuals respond to mold exposure.Home assessments for mold are important for health and safety.A holistic approach is necessary for effective treatment and healing.

A common description of antibiotic action aims to classify them between “bactericidal” or “bacteriostatic”. Although these phenomena have robust in vitro foundations, the clinical translation of these concepts is sometimes difficult to ascertain. This controversial topic has important conceptual ramifications to treat severe infections. Today, we will discuss this topic with an expert in field.  Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/3z4BItBrzbk Topics discussed: The definitions of “cidal” vs “static” antibiotics The clinical applicability of the above terms in terms of antibiotic choice and syndromatic approaches antibiotic choices and the controversy between bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotics.  Guest: Brad Spellberg, MD.  Chief Medical Officer at the Los Angeles General Medical Center  Links: ASM and IDSA launch the Interdisciplinary Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance and Innovation (IMARI) in 2026 Watch this session on YouTube This episode is brought to you by the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy Journal.  Visit asm.org/aac to browse issues and/or submit a manuscript.

Send us a textIt's a common scenario for a cancer patient. They're undergoing treatment and get what's known as a peripherally inserted central catheter or PICC (pronounced “pick”) line to make it more convenient to administer drugs. They are in and out of the hospital or just the clinic frequently to see various providers. The treatment they receive may run down their immune system a little bit. Just having cancer may have damaged their immune system.So then they get an infection.Perhaps it's no big deal. A round of antibiotics may take care of it. However, increasingly, these infections are resistant to antibiotics – something known as antimicrobial resistance or AMR.Then, the patient must wait weeks or even months to resume cancer treatment while the infection is treated. And, all too often, the infection itself may kill the patient. In fact, infections are the second-leading cause of death for cancer patients.Dr. Yehoda M. Martei, Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology-Oncology) at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues have been working to find out just how common these infections are. Among patients hospitalized for treatment, cancer patients were up to twice as likely to get a drug-resistant infection, she and colleagues found. Among outpatients – people getting treatment at clinics or offices but not staying in the hospital – cancer patients had three times the risk of drug-resistant infections.Listen as Dr. Martei tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about her findings, what they mean, and what must be done to protect cancer patients and ensure infections don't stop them from getting the treatment they need.

In this episode, I dive into what actually happens to your gut when you take antibiotics—and how to help it recover without overcomplicating things.Antibiotics are incredibly useful when needed, but they don't just target the harmful bacteria. They also knock out a lot of the good stuff that keeps your gut healthy. So, if you've recently finished a course (or have one coming up), this episode is all about how to support your gut in a realistic, food-first way.I break down what happens to your gut bacteria, what kinds of foods can help you rebuild that microbial diversity, and where fermented foods like yoghurt and kefir actually fit in. I also talk through how to gently reintroduce foods that might feel a bit off straight after antibiotics, without stressing your system—or yourself.It's a practical, no-nonsense guide to getting your gut back on track.Time Stamps:00:00 Understanding Antibiotics and Gut Health02:23 Dietary Strategies for Gut Recovery05:19 Incorporating Probiotics and Fermented Foods07:28 Long-term Gut Health MaintenanceClick me for show notes!

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers reveals how common pain relievers like NSAIDs can damage your gut, leading to leaky gut and inflammation. He shares the science behind how these meds worsen long-term gut health.   Antibiotics, often prescribed unnecessarily, disrupt the gut microbiome and cause more harm than good, creating long-term issues like bacterial resistance.   Dr. Jockers also explains how acid-blocking medications prevent nutrient absorption, particularly B12 and magnesium, and why they're more damaging than helpful.     In This Episode:  00:00 Personal Story: The Dangers of Overusing Ibuprofen 00:41 Introduction to the Podcast and Sponsor Message 03:02 Understanding Gut Inflammation and Medications 07:43 The Problem with NSAIDs 09:38 The Risks of Antibiotics 13:40 The Dangers of Acid Blocking Medications 16:56 Issues with Birth Control Pills 17:37 Steroids: Short-Term Relief, Long-Term Harm 18:38 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Explore the health benefits of C60, a Nobel Prize-winning antioxidant that optimizes mitochondrial function and fights inflammation.

In 2016, the USDA dropped the official definition of grass-fed. Technically, all cows are grass-fed until the last 3 to 6 months of their lives, when they're typically fattened with grains. However, despite misleading food labels, over 99% of beef in the store is not truly grass-fed. Cows are fed grains to quickly fatten them up, but these aren't “healthy” grains like many people assume. Cows in feedlots are fed DDGS (dried distillers grain with solubles), a cheap waste product of GMO, inedible dent corn used for making ethanol. This is incredibly profitable because it causes the cows to gain weight quickly for very little cost. Fiber, limestone, and synthetic vitamins and minerals are added to this corn byproduct. Monensin, an antibiotic, is also added. Antibiotics are regularly used in feedlots in the U.S. to quickly increase weight gain in animals. Beta-agonists are also used to enhance muscle growth. Some studies have shown that the use of this medication in animals can cause anxiety in the humans who consume them. There are two types of feedlots: open and closed. In closed feedlots, the cows only get 24 square feet of space and around 150 square feet in open feedlots. For truly grass-fed beef, look for 100% grass-fed. Support small farmers for the healthiest meat and to help put an end to the grass-fed scam!Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

What Parents Really Need to Know About Fevers in KidsFevers can feel scary—but they're often a sign that your child's immune system is doing exactly what it's meant to do. In this episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're sharing a naturopath's perspective on why fever is a healthy immune response, when to worry (and when not to), and how to confidently support your child through it without unnecessary medication.Whether you're a first-time parent or you've dealt with a dozen midnight wakeups and thermometer checks, this episode will give you the clarity and calm you need to better understand and manage fevers at home.Here's what we cover:Why fever is not the enemy and how it helps your child fight infection by speeding up white blood cell activity and slowing the growth of microbes.What most parents don't realise about fever medications including their risks, from gut irritation to depleting glutathione and links to respiratory complications.Why febrile convulsions aren't prevented by medication and what to do instead.When to treat the child, not the number — plus signs to watch for, and when to seek urgent medical attention based on age and symptoms.

Story at-a-glance New research shows over 70% of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) patients reported significant symptom improvement with holistic treatment, even when lab tests remained abnormal SIBO develops when digestive metabolism slows down and bacteria migrate where they don't belong, causing bloating, gas and food intolerances Antibiotics often worsen the condition by disrupting gut ecology and triggering candida overgrowth, creating a secondary fungal problem Restricting carbohydrates provides temporary relief but ultimately weakens metabolism; gradually reintroducing simple carbs helps rebuild gut health Addressing underlying causes like low thyroid function, hormone imbalances and poor motility is more effective than simply targeting bacterial overgrowth

In Episode 8 of The Luke Coutinho Show, we dive into how antibiotics impact your gut and overall health. While they can be life-saving, antibiotics may disrupt your gut microbiome and weaken immunity. Learn how to manage their side effects and protect your health during and after treatment.Here's what we cover:Why antibiotics can both help and harmHow they deplete key vitamins (B-complex, K2, D) and minerals (magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc)Effects on the gut-brain axis and moodFood-based strategies to restore your bodySmart supplement use and why multivitamins may backfireProbiotics vs. prebiotics for gut recoveryBest timing for supplements to avoid interferenceAnd much more…

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Steve Wright explain why many people stay inflamed even after removing toxins and eating clean. The real issue isn't exposure—it's lost immune tolerance, and the solution is rebuilding resilience.   You'll learn about the five gut defense layers that regulate your immune system. Fixing oxygen balance, mucus layers, and gut cell mitochondria is key to restoring proper function.   They also cover how para-probiotics—dead bacteria—can retrain an overactive immune response. If you're sensitive to foods, histamines, or your environment, this episode lays out what to do next.   In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Early Childhood Exposure and Health Benefits 02:59 Interview with Steve Wright: Retraining a Broken Gut Immune System 05:26 Understanding the Immune System and Its Connection to the Gut 08:02 Challenges in Modern Health and the Importance of Gut Resilience 10:50 The Role of the Gut in Immune Function and Balance 23:04 Layers of the Gut and Their Functions 26:36 Mitochondria and Gut Health 27:59 Impact of Antibiotics on Gut Microbiome 28:47 The Role of Stomach Acid in Digestion 31:51 Resetting Gut Health 33:27 Individualized Diets and Food Tolerance 36:44 Repairing Gut Health: Steps and Supplements 40:32 Para Probiotics: An Overview 44:51 Healthy Gut Products and Protocols 48:46 Final Thoughts and Recommendations     Still cooking with seed oils?

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Lynn Oberstein Feder, a passionate mother, baker, and wellness advocate whose lifelong health journey led her to profound transformation—both personally and professionally.Lynn shares her early struggles with chronic illness and the cascade of misdiagnoses and overuse of antibiotics that left her searching for answers. We talk about the toll of conventional medicine, the power of homeopathic remedies, and the critical importance of finding a provider who truly listens.Her journey to healing began with food—specifically, the gut-healing power of bone broth and a complete shift in her dietary habits. Through her experience, Lynn discovered not just better health, but a calling. Motivated by her daughter's dietary restrictions, she began developing nutrient-dense, gluten-free breads that eventually blossomed into her business, Lynn's Life Breads.We explore how food quality impacts the microbiome, why ingredient transparency matters, and how healing can happen when you return to your kitchen with purpose and intention. Lynn also opens up about the energetic component of food preparation, and how family-centered cooking can transform health outcomes—especially for children.This episode is about more than bread—it's about reclaiming your health, trusting your intuition, and turning adversity into empowerment.Key Takeaways:Chronic illness often begins with overlooked or misdiagnosed symptomsOveruse of antibiotics can have long-term health effectsHomeopathy and integrative medicine can offer powerful alternativesHealing often starts in the kitchenThe microbiome is foundational to overall wellnessUnderstanding food quality is essential for lasting healthFamily-friendly, accessible recipes can bring everyone to the tablePassion projects can become healing businessesListening to your body is the first step toward true healthBe sure to Rate and Subscribe so we can continue bring you these life-changing conversations!00:00 Introduction to Lifelong Health Struggles02:53 Lynn's Early Health Challenges06:10 The Role of Antibiotics in Health08:51 Homeopathic Remedies and Cultural Differences12:00 Sister's Battle with Breast Cancer15:06 A Lifetime of Misdiagnoses17:55 Finding the Right Healthcare Provider21:03 Turning Point: Dietary Changes23:59 The Impact of Bone Broth Diet28:10 The Journey to Healthier Bread Alternatives31:04 Creating Bread for Dietary Needs35:00 The Science Behind Bread and Health39:52 From Kitchen to Business: The Birth of Lynn's Life Breads45:57 Making Bread Accessible for EveryoneTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://jennsimmons.simplero.com/page/377266?kuid=327aca17-5135-44cf-9210-c0b77a56e26d&kref=vOKy0sAiorrKTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

We published our first episode on the threat of antibiotic resistance in 2016, and nearly a decade later, it remains one of the world's most pressing health crises. Today, with advances in artificial intelligence (AI), the race to develop new antibiotics is evolving. In this episode, co-host Danielle Mandikian sits down with guests Tommaso Biancalani, Distinguished Scientist and Director of Biological Research and AI Development, and Steven Rutherford, Senior Principal Scientist and Director of Infectious Diseases in Research Biology, to share the latest in the fight against antibiotic resistance. Together, they discuss the challenges of antibiotic discovery and development, and how AI could streamline the process of identifying novel antibiotics within the vast, uncharted chemical universe.

What causes depression? Surprisingly, depression has nothing to do with your brain and everything to do with your gut microbiome. In this video, we'll take an in-depth look at the brain-gut connection and the often overlooked relationship between depression and gut health. 0:00 Introduction: Depression explained1:17 Side effects of SSRIs1:32 St. John's wort and depression2:27 The brain-gut connection3:22 Depression and gut health3:40 Depression and gut inflammation 3:51 Antibiotics and depression4:33 L. reuteri and mental healthDepression has consistently been viewed as a chemical imbalance, but it's actually related to a problem with the gut. Depression is often treated with SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), but many studies show normal serotonin levels in people with depression.SSRIs do not fix depression and have even been called placebos by some medical professionals. They also come with serious side effects, including sexual dysfunction, decreased libido, inability to experience emotion, and worsening depression.St. John's wort affects both serotonin and dopamine. It's an anti-inflammatory and reduces cortisol, but doctors and the medical world often recommend against it despite its very few side effects. Serotonin and oxytocin are made in the gut. Oxytocin is a powerful hormone that can help with depression and stress, so gut health is at the core of mental health. The vagus nerve works as a highway that orchestrates the brain and gut connection. If you have a problem with your gut microbes, this can lead to depression. Studies have found serious microbes missing in depressed people! Gut inflammation can also alter your mood. One of the side effects of antibiotics is depression. Antibiotics erase the good bacteria that control your mood chemicals. Once wiped away, microbes don't always come back, and you could be left with an imbalance. L. reuteri is an amazing microbe that many people are missing. Dr. William Davis has shared an expert technique for cultivating L. reuteri using half and half to increase its potency. People have consumed this probiotic mixture and experienced significant health benefits such as improved sleep, muscle tone, and reduced stress. L. reuteri acts as a natural antibiotic without side effects and is found naturally in breast milk.

A Note from James:Marty Makary is the new head of the FDA, but he is also an old friend of the podcast. He's been on several times, and it's really important to know how this is going to be a new and different FDA, and it's going to be molded by Marty's very specific opinions about healthcare and the medical industry—and here they are.Episode Description:In this episode, James reconnects with Dr. Marty Makary, now heading the FDA, to discuss what's broken in the American healthcare system—and what can actually be done about it. Marty pulls back the curtain on the realities of medical pricing, why unnecessary surgeries happen more often than most suspect, and how medical education is failing future doctors and patients alike. They explore the origins of Marty's bestselling books, the TV adaptation of Unaccountable, and why your hospital bill may have little to do with actual care. This conversation is a rare window into what's really happening inside hospitals and policy rooms—and what the future of smarter, more humane healthcare could look like.What You'll Learn:Why 11% of surgeries and 21% of all medical care may be unnecessary—and what's driving that trend.How hidden costs, out-of-network billing, and surprise charges are crippling Americans financially.What reforms are gaining traction in Congress and why hospitals may be resisting them.How nutrition, inflammation, and simple wellness practices are overlooked in modern medicine.What questions you should ask your doctor to avoid inappropriate or excessive care.Timestamped Chapters:[00:00] Introduction to Marty Makary and the New FDA[01:17] From Book to TV Show: The Journey of Unaccountable[03:42] The Price We Pay: Unveiling Healthcare Costs[09:06] Medical Education and Its Flaws[15:01] The Hidden Costs of Healthcare[34:52] Inappropriate Care and Its Consequences[43:14] The Referral Business in Medicine[44:00] Unnecessary Surgeries: A National Concern[44:48] Malpractice Fears and Their Impact[47:33] The Overuse of Antibiotics[50:28] Inappropriate Medical Care: Real-Life Examples[53:45] The Role of Nutrition and Wellness in Healthcare[58:15] Innovative Medical Education and Training[01:00:36] The Importance of Experience in Medical Practice[01:18:32] The Future of Healthcare: Inflammation and Biome Health[01:20:53] Final Thoughts and Practical Health TipsAdditional Resources:Dr. Marty Makary's websiteUnaccountable by Marty MakaryThe Price We Pay by Marty MakaryThe Resident (TV Series)Healthcare BluebookRestoring MedicineSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If your brain feels foggy, your mood swings like a pendulum, or your cravings seem to control you—this episode will flip what you think you know about your body and your mind. Because what if your thoughts… aren't really yours? In this mind-altering episode of The Human Upgrade, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals a startling new theory: your gut microbiome might be controlling your thoughts. From addiction and depression to obesity and inflammation, the microbes living in your gut—bacteria, fungi, viruses, even parasites—may be pulling the strings on your brain chemistry, mood, and behavior. Dave Asprey and Dr. Gundry dive deep into The Gut-Brain Paradox, exposing how the gut-brain axis operates more like a microbial command center than a digestive system. You'll learn why probiotic pills rarely work, how the wrong microbes can drive compulsive behavior, and how toxic foods, glyphosate, and antibiotics have turned our guts into neurological war zones. Most shocking of all? Microbes may not just influence addiction—they may cause it. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How your gut microbiome can hijack your brain and influence your thoughts and behavior • Why certain microbes may actually cause addiction, obesity, and depression • How antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods are turning your gut into a desert • How to rebuild your gut ecosystem using postbiotics, fermented foods, and precision inputs • Why food cravings might be microbial mind control—and what to do about it • What the latest science reveals about the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammation Sponsors: -Sunlighten | Go to https://www.sunlighten.com/dave/ and enter code DAVE at checkout to save up to $1,400. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

We are rounding up your questions about roads. What confounds you about traffic, or how interstates are laid out? Are there certain road design elements that ignite your road rage? Tell us about it: we've got a traffic engineer in the passenger seat this week, ready to answer your questions. Call us at (877) 4-SCIFRI or 877-472-4374.In this episode, utterances like “um,” “wow,” and “mm-hmm” aren't just fillers—they keep conversations flowing. Also, new research suggests the artificial sweetener saccharin could kill antibiotic resistant bacteria.Huh? The Valuable Role Of InterjectionsListen carefully to a spoken conversation and you'll notice that the speakers use a lot of little quasi-words—mm-hmm, um, huh? and the like—that don't convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself. For many decades, linguists regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise, the flotsam and jetsam that accumulate on the margins of language when speakers aren't as articulate as they'd like to be.But these little words may be much more important than that. A few linguists now think that far from being detritus, they may be crucial traffic signals to regulate the flow of conversation as well as tools to negotiate mutual understanding. That puts them at the heart of language itself—and they may be the hardest part of language for artificial intelligence to master.Read the rest of this article on sciencefriday.com.A Sweet New Treatment For Antibiotic Resistant Infections?Researchers have discovered that the artificial sweetener saccharin has powerful antimicrobial properties. A new study published in EMBO Molecular Medicine suggests that saccharin can actually kill antibiotic resistant bacteria by interfering with DNA replication and cell division. The researchers also concluded that, with the help of traditional antibiotics, saccharin could even be used as an effective wound treatment.Host Ira Flatow talks with study author Dr. Ronan McCarthy, professor in biomedical sciences and director of the Antimicrobial Innovations Centre at Brunel University of London.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
