Description

Go behind the scenes and learn the shocking truth about how physicians are fighting against new and evolving bacteria in this “compelling — if terrifying — account of the rise of antibiotic resistance” (Wall Street Journal).

Right now, a battle is taking place on the frontiers of medicine between rapidly evolving bacteria that threaten our health and the doctors who are struggling to outwit them. These bacteria are everywhere: in and on our bodies, in homes, schools, hospitals, crowded airplanes, day-care centers. And, as The Killers Within makes frighteningly clear, so far the bacteria are winning.
