Bug Wars I: How Antimicrobials Kill (And Why It Fails Without You)


Listen Later

You picked the right drug. The culture said susceptible.
 And the infection still got worse.

It’s not always resistance — sometimes, it’s you.

In this episode, we break down how antimicrobials actually kill — and why understanding that is the key to board success and clinical results.

You’ll learn:

  • The difference between bactericidal and bacteriostatic drugs
  • The mechanisms of action for the major antimicrobial classes
  • Why folic acid synthesis inhibition is a double-drug strategy
  • How to choose the right kill style for the right patient
  • Time-dependent vs. concentration-dependent antibiotics

Includes a board-style question + flashcard-style recap.
