Bacteria and viruses are locked in a slow motion battle aboard the ISS that looks nothing like life on the ground.
Bacteria and viruses are often lumped together as germs, and they share many characteristics. They’re invisible to the human eye. They’re everywhere. And both can make us sick, even kill us. That last ...
