303: Can Our Microbiome Break Our Hearts?

TWiM reveals a database of genome sequences of thousands of Mycobaterium tuberculosis, allowing association with resistance phenotypes to 13 antibiotics, and microbe-derived uremic solutes that enhance thrombosis potential in the host.

Hosts: Vincent Racaniello, Michael Schmidt, and Michele Swanson.
