Science bar "Microbes: friend or foe?"

Thursday, June 15, 2017 from 8:30 to 10:00 p.m.
Brasserie le Dôme - Montpellier

Microbes are the main colonizers of our planet. One kilogram of our body is made up of a hundred thousand billion microbial cells, and without these living organisms, invisible to the naked eye, we couldn't survive.
Microbes take up residence in the air, on land and in water, and are present in all living beings, because their capacity to adapt is limitless. Unfairly associated with insalubrity, disease and even death, microbes awaken in us an ancestral fear, that of the great epidemics. Yet most of the time, microbes are our allies, providing countless benefits, while others can be fatal.
