"Bacteria are the most abundant form of life on the planet. The first organisms to evolve, they include forms that can survive the toughest environments, from deep rocks to frozen wastes. No other organisms are as adaptable. We are most familiar with them as agents of disease, but benign bacteria are critical to ecosystems, as well as to human health. In this Very Short Introduction, Sebastian G.B. Amyes explores the nature of bacteria, tracing their origins and evolution, as well as their roles in the environment and in disease, and their growing resistance to antibiotics. This new edition includes a brand new chapter on the human microbiome"--Page 2 of cover.
