Antibiotic Resistance

I. Introduction to Antibiotic Resistance: MRSA

MRSA = Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

As this news report indicates, antibiotic resistance is becoming a major problem.  Watch the video and then discuss with your group what topics/questions you will need to learn about to:
a) understand the origins of the antibiotic resistance problem in general (not just for MRSA) and
b) develop ways to solve/help the problem. 

Decide on a list of topics you think should be investigated.
