Bacteriophages and 'The Perfect Predator'

Pan-resistant superbugs, world travel, a love story and the use of a virus to treat a life-threatening infection--and its all absolutely true. The makings of a great book. On this week's program, I am joined by the authors of The Perfect Predator: A Scientist's Race to Save Her Husband from a Deadly Superbug: A Memoir, Steffanie Strathdee and Tom Patterson. During the segment we look at the timeline, the research, the players and the wonderful outcome. The Outbreak News This Week Radio Show, the first and only radio program dedicated to infectious disease and health news and information, airs every Sunday at 1 pm ET in the Tampa Bay area on AM 1380 The Biz and online at http://1380thebiz.com/
