This product was probably more useful before the purge of antibiotic containing products from the marketplace. It was difficult to find enough different types of antibiotics to make the lab impactful. There is also NO student ready handout, NO discussion or context to give the student and NO analysis questions (i.e. you are going to be doing a lot of this legwork/prep yourself). That being said, that makes this kit essentially media, forceps and swabs, and some printer paper disks. Why is it $72? Where is the value? If its in intellectual property, this kit falls flat on that as well. It could be really cool (Semmelweis and handwashing, the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria due to inappropriate use, etc.) but someone needs to put in the work to make it a true kit instead of what it is currently.
