The Great and Incredible Germophiles: Why We Need Our Microbial Friends (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798750852208)

A widespread contamination of pathogenic bacteria begins to affect and infect many of the Earth's major biomes and ecosystems. Dr. Sue, a prominent public health official, becomes aware of the growing danger on Earth concerning the pathogenic bacteria. She selects Dr. Toby and his team to work to eradicate the increased presence of the pathogenic bacteria that endangers many ecosystems, animals, and even humans. Dr. Toby and his team rapidly perform many microbiological tests in order to identify the class and type of the pathogenic bacteria. After identification, Dr. Toby and his team race to stop the spread of the pathogenic microbes. They research the evolutionary background, the metabolic pathways, and possible ways to deliver non-toxic antimicrobials into many of the ecosystems and biomes on Earth infected with highly drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. In this story, readers can read about the importance of collaboration among scientists for the purpose of finding novel and innovative ways to address many of the present microbiological and environmental concerns we have on Earth. This is a story that involves the power of collaboration among scientists regardless of their position or title to reinforce the idea that we are all scientists and have much to contribute for solving many of our world's present concerns through science.
