In episode 52: Superbug Slayer we are joined by Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences and Harold Simon Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Dr. Steffanie Strathdee, to chat about superbugs and how to treat them. In this episode Steffanie shares with us the incredible story of how she helped resurrect a little known, but highly effective, treatment for antibiotic resistance bacteria and, in the process, saved her husband’s life. What is phage therapy and how can it reduce our reliance on antibiotics? Which infections can be treated with phage therapy? What can you do to prevent superbugs becoming the next global health crisis? All this and much more in Superbug Slayer with Dr. Steffanie Strathdee!
