Spreading Germs discusses how modern ideas on the bacterial causes
of communicable diseases were constructed and spread within the
British medical profession in the last third of the nineteenth
century. Michael Worboys surveys many existing interpretations of
this pivotal moment in modern medicine. He shows that there were
many germ theories of disease, and that these were developed and
used in different ways across veterinary medicine, surgery, public
health and general medicine. The growth of bacteriology is
considered in relation to the evolution of medical practice rather
than as a separate science of germs.
