Manage episode 344585047 series 3333044
This week on Tales of the Resistance we continue our multi-week discussion on questions brought to us by our audience! Today, we'll tackle these questions: are all bacteria candidates for resistance? Which is recommended, injection or pills, for antibiotics? Are some people more likely to have resistance bacteria in them than others? Can antibiotics be modified for attacking the resistance bacteria or is it usually treated with different antibiotics?
