Becoming Resistant: MSSA to MRSA

As part of the Oxford Biomedical Research Centre Open Day, Anna Dumitriu led a ‘drop in’ MRSA/MSSA (Methicillin resistant and susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteria) quilt making session. Participants were able to create quilt squares using natural and clinical antibiotics on Chromogenic agar and then the squares were (remotely) inoculated with bacteria and the results can be seen here. The squares were used to create a new artwork.
