About The Author
Naomi Datta, FRS (17 September 1922 30 November 2008) was a distinguished British geneticist. Working at Hammersmith Hospital in the 1950s and early 1960s she identified horizontal gene transfer as a source of multi-antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Datta published these findings in 1960, in the paper An outbreak of infection with Salmonella typhimurium in a general hospital, and later in 1962 in the paper Transmissible drug resistance in an epidemic strain of Salmonella typhimurium in the Journal of Hygiene.
In later years she published many important studies on the occurrence and significance of drug resistance plasmids in enterobacterial infections. For example, Dr. Datta co-authored (with Royston C. Clowes, Stanley Cohen, Roy Curtiss III, Stanley Falkow and Richard Novick) a proposal for uniform nomenclature for bacterial plasmids.
She also made distinguished contributions to research on the molecular biology of R factors, and she pioneered the classification of R factors and other plasmids by their incompatibilities. She found that some resistance genes, including those for gentamycin resistance, are located on transposons and are readily transferred between replicons.
Skryf Review
Naomi Data, the author has a background in television and writes at ease. Easily identifiable grey shaded characters and her witty writing skill makes this book really enjoyable..This book is so gripping you will have a hard time laying it down until you’ve reached the end. It has the right amount of humor, twists and detail. She has etched each character well, and the surprise elements in this book (especially towards the climax) make it all the more interesting to read.
