Microbe Mail recorded a collaborative episode with the ID:IOTS podcast. Jame, Callum and I talk about the challenge of multidrug resistant Gram negative bacterial infections, particularly from the perspective of a low- middle income setting, with poor access to the newer antimicrobial agents.

Callum is a medical microbiology and infectious diseases registrar working in Edinburgh, Scotland who has recently completed a medical education fellowship. Jame is an ex-Scottish newly Oxford, England, based infectious diseases and clinical pharmacology.
