So, this is a thing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nerdcoremedical/the-bacterionomicon
Whether or not it will be a fun/helpful study compendium, I don't know, but I love the concept on principle, and I backed it. I also wrote to the creators to ask if they might consider adding an addendum or making a sequel aimed directly at veterinary students, and they wrote back asking what additional bacteria might be included in the book that was of particular interest to vet students. At which point I realized I wasn't sure if there were any bacteria that caused problems in animals but not in humans. All of the animal-specific issues I could think of (as someone who will be a member of the class of 2018 and doesn't really know squat, yet) were caused by protozoa, other eukaryotes or viruses.
The list of bacteria and antibiotics included in the Bacterionomicon is here: http://i.imgur.com/qht0yVj.jpg
Are there any bacteria strains not included in this list that could be suggested, because they are a strain of importance primarily only when one is treating animals?
