Today we continue the conversation that focuses on the mechanisms of bacterial infections, particularly on the steps bacteria take to cause disease in humans, the body's immune responses to these infections, and the clinical presentations of several bacterial diseases. The Pharm Yaks hosts uses the specific cases of Irena (orbital cellulitis) and Chuan Li (sepsis) to illustrate how these factors play out in real-world scenarios. They also reiterate the influence of socioeconomic factors on a patient's decision to seek medical care, underscoring the importance of addressing these barriers to ensure timely and effective treatment.
