Introducing the Pathogens: Disease-Causing Organisms

Synopsis: Examines the characteristics of the five major groups of pathogens that cause infectious disease - bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and worms - and the diseases they cause in humans, as well as symptoms and current methods of treatment. Shows how pathogens have altered human history and still pose a threat to human health. Looks at the contributions of Pasteur and Koch in understanding and combating pathogens. Also discusses diagnostic techniques, means of pathogen transmission and the importance of sterile techniques in hospitals.
