The Threat of Antibiotic Resistance: When Fire Meets Gasoline
This week, Dr. Lance Price and Matthew Wellington welcome listeners to the inaugural episode of their podcast and explain a bit about themselves, their respective organizations, and the rationale that sparked the creation of Superbugs Unplugged. You’ll learn about the growing dangers of drug-resistant infections and how the overuse of antibiotics in human medicine, food animal production and plant agriculture is causing these critical drugs to lose their effectiveness, putting us all at risk . You’ll also hear about topics that we’ll explore in future episodes and guests we hope to feature!
