A neglected aspect of the history of germ theories is its use in the purification of sewage. In the 1890s, progressive reformers rapidly developed bacteriological methods of wastewater treatment. A comparison of the United Kingdom's Manchester and the United States' Chicago shows, however, that science and technology were mediated by political culture and institutions. In Manchester, a politics of deference and strong extralocal government gave the authority of scientific expertise a decisive role in policy formation. In Chicago, devolution of power to the ward bosses meant a quarter-century of defiance against the national authority and its effort to get the city to install a modern sanitation system.
Bacterial genome sequencing has revolutionized the research landscape and promises to deliver important changes to the clinical microbiology laboratory, through the identification of novel diagnostic targets and through the birth of a new discipline or "genomic epidemiology." Current progress and future prospects for exploitation of genome sequences in clinical bacteriology are reviewed.
