5 | Streptococcus Suis, have you tidied your bedroom?
More than a mouthful, the Streptococcus Suis bacterium is a leading cause of mortality in the pig industry worldwide and drives high volumes of antimicrobial use. With its sugar capsule and its multiple and varied strains, this sneaky pathogen evades attempts to control its spread. In this episode, we dive into the cutting-edge of vaccine development and learn about glycoconjugate vaccines and using big data to find hypothetical proteins. Innovating Alternatives is a serialized podcast that will delve into the issue of antimicrobial resistance, a slow-moving pandemic that risks erasing the last 80 years of modern medicine’s progress. We will take you right to the cutting edge of science, where researchers are developing new and surprising alternatives to antibiotics and innovative solutions to reduce the use of antimicrobials in livestock and aquaculture production.

4 | The curious case of aquaculture (and AMR)
Nanobubbles, bacterial small talk and a pack of PACAP punks punching holes in bacteria. In this episode we explore the diversity that is aquaculture, and the diverse approaches that researchers are adopting to develop alternatives to antibiotics for farming, the underwater type that is. Innovating Alternatives is a serialized podcast series that will take you right to the cutting edge of science, where researchers are developing new and surprising alternatives to antibiotics and innovative solutions to reduce the use of antimicrobials in livestock and aquaculture production.
