In four presentations, Donald E. Ganem, MD, and B. Brett Finlay, PhD, discuss the latest advances in understanding how pathogens invade the body and how this knowledge is leading to the development of new therapies. They also explain how new infectious diseases are recognized and how epidemics arise.

Although the scientific and medical communities are now ten years ahead of this publication on researching the microbe menace; primarily anitbiotic resistance - this video provides an excellent foundation in helping understand the preliminary knowledge needed in going to a higher level of research and understanding. The presentors are very clear and precise while using excellent graphics to illustrate their expertise. I would recommend ths video to any individual, no matter what level of microbiology you have reached - it will either educate you or act as a refresher course to confirm your knowledge level...perfect for a showing in the classroom as well.

Dr. Ganem is an HHMI investigator and professor of microbiology and immunology and of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Finlay is an HHMI international research scholar and professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and of microbiology and immunology at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
