The Killers Within: The Deadly Rise of Drug-Resistant Bacteria

Michael Shnayerson


The authors reveal a terrifying truth that bacteria have evolved, have outwitted doctors, and are now in the ascendancy. Quietly a medieval crisis has been brewing, as laboratories and doctors frantically race to develop new drugs and new means to combat bacteria that, via aggressive evolution, have zigged where medicine zagged. This is a horror story that just happens to be true.
