Publisher's Synopsis

Health experts fear that some day, strains of bacteria will arise that no medicine can kill. This enlightening book presents the single-celled superbugs, which are notorious for causing the most hospital infections, and for being the most resistant to antibiotics. Students discover how bugs become superbugs and how they learn to evade the body's defenses. New treatments are covered, as well as some of the recent developments that scientists are researching.
