92. AST: What is resistance anyway? (S/I/R)

ID:IOTS - Infectious Disease Insight Of Two Specialists

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!
