Cada PESTE Mortal que Mais DEVASTOU a Humanidade

These are 6 of the bacterial plagues that most devastated humanity throughout history. The Black Death that killed a third of Europe in 5 years, cholera that still kills 100,000 people per year, typhus that decided more wars than many generals, leprosy still circulating in Brazil at alarming rates, the American cook who infected entire New York families, and a bacterium that sleeps for centuries in the soil waiting to attack. From the Middle Ages to the 21st century, these bacteria shaped human history, and in some cases, they're still around. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 00:01 - Black Death (Yersinia pestis) 01:29 - Cholera (Vibrio cholerae) 03:00 - Typhus (Rickettsia prowazekii) 04:21 - Leprosy (Mycobacterium leprae) 05:33 - Typhoid Fever (Salmonella typhi) 06:48 - Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis)
