Hospitals are Hotspots for Antibiotic-resistant Germs

Thanks again to the Koslicki Lab at Penn State for supporting this episode. Their lab focuses on computational biology, including the analysis of metagenomic data. If you enjoyed this video, check out some of their papers: https://koslickilab.github.io/Koslicki-lab-PSU/

While antibiotics have saved millions of lives, misusing them can speed up how fast bacteria evolve to resist them. And it turns out that one of the biggest hotspots for these antibiotic-resistant bacteria…is hospitals.
