Dangerous new superbugs are emerging all across the globe, which cannot be killed by the vast majority of modern antibiotics. How can scientists tell the difference between normal bacterial flora found all over the human body, and deadly superbugs that cause untreatable infections? We will cover three key points on this topic: how antibiotic resistance is measured, examples of resistance in clinically relevant microbes, and MIC and MBC for antibiotics.
