You may be familiar with biofilm but what do you know about small colony variants -- and the impact that they have on infection control and public health? All living organisms have a universal prime directive, which is to survive. What does that mean for those of us whose prime directive is to protect our patients against infectious agents? On this week's episode of Transmission Control, we talk to Wava Truscott, PhD. MBA about how bacteria adapt to their environment and become stronger. While Dr. Truscott “loves bugs” and has made them her life’s work, she also has a unique ability to explain complex concepts in microbiology by making them simple and providing real world applications for information that positively impacts healthcare organizations. On this interview, Dr. Truscott joins hosts Dr. Lawrence Muscarella and Justin Poulin to explore the topics of antibiotic resistance, surgical instrument cleaning implications for Sterile Processing, and the future threats that need to be on your clinical radar.
