Physician, researcher, and ethics professor Matt McCarthy is on the front lines of a groundbreaking clinical trial testing a new antibiotic to fight lethal superbugs, bacteria that have built up resistance to the life-saving drugs in our rapidly dwindling arsenal. This trial serves as the backdrop for the compulsively listenable Superbugs, and the results will impact nothing less than the future of humanity.

Excellent 👌

Dr. McCarthy nails the balance between compellingingly human and groundbreaking clinical medicine by walking us through his "translational" research with Dalba. At the same time, by celebrating the clear brilliance of Dr. Walsh whose work has prevented countless deaths to infection he also puts to the page an ode to the experienced mind in medicine that will always have it's place among the latest and greatest antibiotics since those hard-earned drugs will only be so powerful as those who wield their powers. If more doctors in training would read this book I believe both over prescription and white-coated pride could be prevented in a large degree. In any case, an excellent read. Thanks Dr. McCarthy.
