Dr. Martha Buchanan, Director of Knox County Health Department, led the discussion. (Recorded October 20, 2010) For a long-form treatment of antibiotic resistant superbugs, check out Superbug by Maryn McKenna. The focus of this book is the pathogen known as MRSA: methicillin-resistant Staphyloccocus aureus. See also the Frontline documentary below.
