Microbes aren't what you thought they were anymore!

Wildly diverse and far more often helpful than harmful, microbes live in complex societies, ables to communicate with each other and live symbiotically with their host organisms. From antibiotic-resistant strains to the squid's luminescent bacteria, the eradication of malarial mosquitos to "terrorist" bacteria and the mysteries of gut flora, here is a comprehensive overview of microbiology. Permanent Secretary of the Academy of Sciences, Professor Pascale Cossart of the Pasteur Institute has won many international prizes.
