When it comes to antibiotic stewardship and clinical care, Brad Spellberg, MD, just wants to see the data.

Increased antibiotic use can lead, seemingly paradoxically, to more problematic infections, as the bacteria evolve to resist ...

"This challenges the notion that microplastics are merely passive carriers of resistant bacteria and highlights their role as ...
