Gut balls! (enterococcus faecalis)

Butt bacteria! More specifically, enterococcus faecalis, a gut bacteria that is common in humans but can cause some major problems if it finds its way to any other part of your body. We’re taking a close look at this bacterium (Karoline’s favorite!), lauding an awesome female scientist, and even getting into some organic chemistry! ARMOR on the Air is a student-led podcast based out of the University of Colorado Boulder. We discuss the antimicrobial resistance crisis and what we as members of the public can do to help! Join our hosts, graduate student Dana and Danish pharmacist Karoline, as we learn more about superbugs and how to stop them! ARMOR is an outreach organization at CU Boulder. We promote safe and responsible use of antibiotics, support research into new antibiotics, and encourage the public to take steps in their daily lives to limit development of more superbugs! Thank you to Prod. Riddiman for our intro/outro music!
