This week on Tales of the Resistance we continue our multi-week discussion on questions brought to us by our audience! Today, we're cracking open the questions: Has the increased use of sanitizers during the COVID pandemic affected antibiotic resistance? What are the most common types of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics? Does antimicrobial resistance mean we will need to wear masks for the rest of our lives?
Show notes:
