Los microorganismos son bichos que conviven con la humanidad y que, por una parte, pueden matar en forma misteriosa y en silencio a millones de personas y, por otra, son benéficos para la naturaleza y el ser humano. Esta obra habla de varios investigadores o cazadores de microbios nocivos, causantes éstos de terribles enfermedades como la rabia, la tuberculosis, la difteria, la sífilis y el paludismo, entre otras. Anton Van Leeuwenhoek, Lazzaro Spallanzani, Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, Émile Roux, Emil Behring, Theobald Smith, Elías Metchnikoff, Ronald Ross, Giovanni Battista Grassi, Paul Ehrlich, Walter Reed y David Bruce son hombres a quienes les debemos estar agradecidos por sus descubrimientos científicos.
