“Holmes, take over!” – On the trail of a mysterious heart attack

Bacteria have taken up residence in the heart and are hiding behind a barricade. 🤯 They are putting up fierce resistance even against our strongest ally, the antibiotic.

Step into the shoes of Dr Holmes in our interactive puzzle game! 🕵️‍♀️ Follow the lab results, heart scans and other clues to get to the bottom of the condition. Or search for the hidden infection yourself in our 3D heart model.

Find out why some bacteria are so hard to catch, what makes them so dangerous, and what we’re doing to solve this complicated case. 👩‍🔬 Could tiny nanoparticles perhaps help as new allies? Or are the bacteria not actually that good at hiding and do they leave ‘traces’ in the blood?
