Summary

Scientists regularly use microbes in their research. However, they often overlook their richness and action’s and reaction’s potentialities, particularly in their attempts to control or eradicate them. Antimicrobial resistance, a health scourge that is still largely underestimated, illustrates particularly well the consequences of industrial capitalism's massive use of microbes to manufacture antibiotics. This observation is the starting point for the reflection carried out in this work: the production and use of scientific knowledge are not independent of the conditions in which this knowledge is obtained. Concerning microbes, the author shows the importance of taking into account the tangled and constantly evolving relationships that link them to human societies, and more generally that link living beings together. What she describes as pluribiosis.
