Introduction to the world of microbes.

A Cardiff University scientist provides an introduction to the world of microbes around us by demonstrating agar plate swabs from hands and surfaces, highlighting the importance of hand washing. They also use plaque disclosing tablets to help talk about the microbes in our mouths.

Get involved and join in a competition to design your own 'Super Bug!'. The winner will receive a certificate.
