This unique kit, created by scientists at the Center for Translational Science Education at Tufts University, provides students with a robust learning experience that addresses a real medical problem facing hospitals around the world.
Investigate infectious diseases safely with this laboratory case study kit.

Once they master those skills, they then examine antibiotic susceptibility, design an experiment to test for it, and learn to interpret their results.
