Viral Evolution, Frog-Killing Fungi, and Antibiotic Resistance Reports - Microbial Minutes

Explore the latest developments in microbiology with this 29-minute video from the American Society for Microbiology's Microbial Minutes series. Delve into cutting-edge research on viral evolution, the resurgence of frog populations after fungal epidemics, and concerning trends in antibiotic resistance. Learn about new mechanisms of drug resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the discovery of a novel class of synthetic retinoid antibiotics effective against bacterial persisters, and global patterns in infectious disease mortality. Gain insights from expert commentary on these findings and their implications for public health and microbial ecology. Stay informed about critical issues in microbiology, from emerging antibiotic-resistant pathogens to the evolutionary history of vertebrate RNA viruses.
