In the final episode of its first season, WRAIR Science examines the threat to future battlefields and hospitals if antibiotic resistance continues to grow.
In this episode of WRAIR Science, we look at three different methods our researchers are working on to prevent and treat antibiotic resistant infections,
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research maintains a one-of-a-kind library of antibiotic resistant bacteria and data, called the Multidrug-resistant organism Repository and Surveillance Network, or MRSN. In this episode, we dive into how the MRSN was created and how it's used to help soldiers and their families.
How the process of getting wounded soldiers from point of injury to treatment helps prevent the growth of bacterial infections and the spread of those bacteria throughout the Military Health System. We also investigate the roots of that process in Civil War-era innovations.
Clumsy medieval Irishmen! Microscopic bouncers! Improved Death Star design! All these and more are part of episode two of WRAIR Science, in which we investigate the ways microbes cultivate bacterial resistance.
