responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide.
Thanks to the invention and use of antibiotics, care of patients has
been improved and lives have been saved for more than half a century.
Still, an improvement in understanding the causes, transmission, spread,

prevention and treatment.
We have compiled interesting facts and comprehensive background

of infection and relevant infectious diseases. Furthermore, we introduce
prevention measures, the appropriate use of antibiotics and the
increasing problem of resistant bacteria.
Illustrations and animations facilitate understanding the immune
