Listen "Hitting Paydirt in the Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance"
Episode Synopsis
AUB’s Dr. Antoine Abou Fayad takes us from Lebanese fields to the lab bench to explain how his team uncovered four antibiotic-producing Streptomyces strains—three likely brand-new to science—and why those “earthy-smell” microbes could help counter the global rise of drug-resistant infections. We talk soil sleuthing, biosynthetic gene clusters, and the long road from natural product to bedside.
