Recommended by the Academic Council of the State Scientific Center for Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology as a textbook for in-depth study by students of medical, biological and veterinary institutions of higher education, as a teaching aid for students of professional training courses on working with pathogens of especially dangerous infections. The book examines the plague, the most dangerous bacterial infection that has caused three terrible pandemics in human history. The author proposes to look at the well-known subject from a different angle: from the point of view of the bacterium itself, which is the prima in the opera (Italian “business”) of life, and its influence on history and culture; from the point of view of the destinies of people - heroes and war criminals. The book includes a large number of illustrations and descriptions of clinical cases, therefore it is addressed to medical students for in-depth study. It can also be used by students of biological and veterinary universities, residents, in advanced training courses for doctors and in training specialists in working with pathogens of especially dangerous infections. In addition, the language of presentation allows us to recommend it to everyone who is interested in the amazingly dangerous world of microorganisms, and is also preparing to enter a university.
