Bacteriology during the expeditions of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration

ABSTRACT During the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, nine expeditions are recorded as performing bacteriological research, but for only six were the results published and for one of these, the publication only relates to a single sample. Most of those doing the research were medically qualified...
