Professor Tony Hart, MBBS, BSc, PhD, FRCPCH, FRCPath, is one of the world’s leading authorities on medical microbiology. He is the author of many articles and books on the subject.
Microterrors, invisible agents of disease and death, are all around us—in the air we breathe, the food we eat and the animals with which we share our environment. Many are harmless to those in good health but fatal to those whose immune systems are already compromised, such as the very young or very old, and those suffering from an underlying disease. Microterrors presents a visual catalog of some of the most important, interesting and newsworthy of these biological hazards.
