Learning which antibiotics treat which bacteria and how to dose those antibiotics is like trying to learn a foreign language. Words sound weird and are difficult to pronounce. At first, nothing really makes any sense and what we all need is more practice. In this episode, we'll start talking about some of the basics. Just like in previous episodes we'll use concrete examples to support the points that we make. One 16 minute podcast wont make you an expert at bugs and drugs but we can begin to lay an important foundation that we can build upon in future episodes. So join me as we work on the foreign language that we call "Bugs and Drugs."
