Josep Casadesús, professor and vitalist microbiologist, dies at 70 years of age. Josep Casadesús was Professor of Genetics at the University of Seville, and devoted his life to Salmonella enterica as a model organism of bacterial pathogenesis and microbial genetics. Nothing is small in microbiology, because microbes, even a single microbe, offers the most complete picture of Nature, of all Life. That is why those who love a microbe love life; that is why our friend – he will forever remain our friend – is a vitalist microbiologist. |
