Is mankind losing the war against a new generation of superbugs? Are you a human time bomb? How much do you know about MRSA, Necrotizing Fasciitis (flesh-eating bacteria), E.Coli0157 and the rest?

Diseases from the past are reappearing and new ones are being discovered at an alarming rate.

There has to be constant vigilance, and a tackling of the massive problems facing the world if killer diseases are not to become the nightmare of the new millennium.
