The Bug Busters

Infectious diseases may no longer be the leading cause of deaths in the country but specialists are not slowing down in addressing the challenges of morbidity and hospitalization that still come with it. H&L is dedicating this issue to highlight the works of The Philippine Society of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (PSMID) as a leader in busting antimicrobial abuse, folk remedies, and lack of knowledge in dealing with infections.
