These discoveries and inventions are vital yet commonplace in modern life, but were radical when first introduced to the public and academia. In this book, the life and times of leading pioneers in microbiology are discussed in vivid detail, focusing on the background of each discovery and the process in which they were developed — sometimes by accident or sheer providence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgostino M Bassi (1773–1836): Pioneer of Studying Contagious Diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLister (1827–1912): Pioneer of Antisepsis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFerdinand J Cohn (1828–1898): Founder of Bacteriology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeinrich A De Bary (1831–1999): Pioneer of Mycology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerhard H Hansen (1841–1912): Pioneer of Leprosy Studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEllie Metchnikoff (1845–1916): Phagocytosis and Immunology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalter Reed (1851–1902): Mosaquito and Yellow Fever Virus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmile Roux (1953–1933) Diseases Fighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid Bruce (1855–1921): Pioneer of Veterinary Microbiology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexandre Yersin (1863–1943): Pioneer of Plague Fighter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlbert Calmette (1863–1933): Antituberculosis and BCG Vaccination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoward Ricketts (1871–1910): Pioneer of Rickettsial Diseases Studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexander Fleming (1881–1955): Penicillin, First of the Useful Antibiotics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorge Beadle (1903–1989): Pioneer of Biochemical Genetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArnold L Demain (1927–): A Giant of Industrial Microbiology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBruce Ames (1928–): Molecular Mutagenesis and Genetic Toxicology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand other papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Readers who are interested in the stories behind important discoveries in microbiology.
