Teaching Aspects of Antibiotics and Antimicrobials to the Food Science Student through a Combination Wet Lab and In Silico Activity

Abstract

In light of the important role that antibiotics and antimicrobials play in food safety, food science students need a deep understanding of how these chemicals function.
