The author made some really obvious mistakes calling pseudo fluorescens a parasite and referring to c diff as the disease instead of the organism that causes the disease. This is really disappointing because he’s an MD and went through the trouble of interviewing microbiologists and molecular biologists and other PhD/MDs but couldn’t get one to proofread his work??
The history of soap chapter and his deep dive into skincare businesses was intriguing at least.
I think I just chose a book that wasn’t written for someone in the field of microbiology, the information is in layman's terms and is easy to grasp without needing a medical background. It’s nice that it’s accessible to everyone but if you’re already in the medical or molecular field you might find this a bit tedious.
