Résumé
From Hippocrates and Avicenna to Paul Ehrlich and Lillian Wald, Germ Theory brings to life a dozen medical pioneers whose work changed the way we think about and treat infection. These pivotal characters in the history of infectious disease proposed ideas that often enraged society and directly discounted the theories of their time's more popular scientists. Despite these obstacles, seminal thinkers such as Jenner, Lister, and Fleming bravely illuminated the path to our current understanding of germs and infection.
In beautifully crafted biographies, Robert Gaynes describes the genesis of the germ theory of disease and presents the "inside stories" of these pioneers' struggles to have their work accepted. How Robert Koch discovered the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. How Edward Jenner, the pioneer of vaccination, faced down scores of naysayers. How a chance discovery led Louis Pasteur to the idea that virulence of microbes can be altered.
Relevant to those fascinated by microbes, infection, or how medical discoveries shape our modern understanding, Germ Theory recounts specific discoveries that led to the control of devastating infectious diseases. Dr. Gaynes offers a series of lessons that can inform strategies for tackling current crises in infectious diseases and can motivate and support today's scientists.
