Success in preventing infection by vaccination and treating infection with antibiotics led some to believe that infectious disease was a thing of the past. However, the adaptability of pathogens and the emergence of new diseases has presented microbiologists with a fresh set of challenges as we enter the new millennium. While celebrating past successes and highlighting developing problems, this volume aims to address some of the issues facing microbiologiCommunicable diseasesAnti-infective agentsVaccinesCommunicable diseases.Anti-infective agents.Vaccines.579616.9Andrew P.
