During FEMS2019, we managed to talk to Laura Bowater, Professor at Norwich Medical School (UK), and author of The Microbes Fight Back: Antibiotic Resistance, a book for anyone to read who wishes know more about how antibiotic resistance develops in microbes and how we can help prevent it.

Here we chat about the book, her favourite microbes, and how Alexander Fleming predicted the rise of antibiotic resistance ahead of time….
