The human body is outnumbered by bacteria almost 10 to 1, and in general, we live in harmony with them. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship, however, what happens when we get an imbalanced microbiome? 
In this episode, your hosts Dr George Moncrieff and Dr Roger Henderson will answer just that, as they cover some of the common and rarer bacterial infections seen in primary care. Listen along to hear:  
Their top six facts about bacteria
How to spot common bacterial infections including, impetigo, folliculitis and furuncles along with the not so common ones like carbuncles, Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome and ecthyma 
Their management and treatment strategies, along with their prescribing choices 
General tips and advice for patients
