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

Why are some bacterial infections so difficult to treat? In our interactive puzzle game, step into the shoes of medical detectives and help Mr M.! Using lab results, heart scans and other clues, you’ll get to the bottom of a mysterious illness. Can you make the correct diagnosis and solve the case?

Find out how bacteria colonise the heart, why treating them is often difficult, and what innovative research approaches are currently being developed to combat this dangerous infection more effectively.

You’ll also learn all about our latest research at our information stand: can tiny nanoparticles help deliver antibiotics directly to the bacteria, thereby improving the treatment of bacterial infections?
