      I have a few strains of bacteria that have come from hospitals and are resistant to a lot of bacteria, which are scary to handle.

      I work on Klebsiella and some of the strains I use are from hospital infections and are resistant to lots of antibiotics! We have to be really careful when working with these, as infections caused by these bacteria are hard to treat.

      I have lots of lovely bacteria which have caused different types of illnesses and are often drug resistant too. We also find some bacteria in sewage (lots of types of E.coli) which can make you pretty sick and are resistant to lots of drugs.

      I think the most deadly virus I have worked with is the Ebola virus in Africa!
