S03E01 Bacteria With Vanya Gant

Bolus: education delivered stat

To kick off Series 3, we have invited pre-eminent microbiologist and clinical director for Infection at UCLH, Vanya Gant, to give us a fascinating introduction to bacteria, and it's delicate relationship with humans. Whilst bacteria is an important ally to us in health, this is always at risk of breaking down in certain circumstances. We discuss the normal role of bacteria, the gut's role as an immune organ, how translocation occurs, appropriate responses to Febrile Neutropenia, how Pipericillin and Tazobactam combine to work more effectively and what the difference is between C. diff antigen and toxin.
