You leave a slice of bread on the kitchen counter in the Caribbean heat. Two days later: fuzzy spots appear. At the same time, someone in your neighbourhood catches a 'bad flu'. Tiny organisms you can't even see can spoil food… and affect whole communities! Microbes are small, but their impact is huge, in health, food, farming and the environment.
