Description

Mankind vs Microbes is a compelling story that combines memoir and history lesson in microbiology and infectious diseases. Born into poverty, the author recounts his personal experiences with infectious diseases such as Cholera and Covid, which he and his family contracted during their lives.

Despite the challenges of his impoverished background, the author pursued his dream of becoming a doctor, overcoming many struggles to become a leading clinical microbiologist working across three continents. This book explores the origins of each disease using historical context and captivating accounts about those who first fought against them.

The unique format allows readers to dip in and out of any section, revealing fascinating facts about one man's lifetime commitment to fighting infections and highlighting how microbes have disrupted human lives since the dawn of mankind.
