On Monday 9th May 2016 starting at 7pm.

Dr Myron Christodoulides from the Division of Clinical and Experimental Sciences, Molecular Microbiology, Southampton University will be talking about bacteria.

He will give a definition of bacteria before talking about pathogenic bacteria and how they can defeat the immune system, so the need for antibiotics.

He will explain what antibiotics are, and hence how antibiotic resistance occurs, and will look particularly at antibiotic resistance in farming, which is a serious problem.
