The book contains entries for 46 "Lords of Pestilence” from Acinetobacter baumannii to Yersinia pestis, and 30 “Apothecary Warriors” from Amoxicillin/Clavulanate to Vancomycin. Each entry includes an elaborate high fantasy illustration, descriptions of tribal groupings, fighting styles, and nemeses, and an article about its role in the ongoing battles across the Soman countryside. Review: If this were one of a series (and I wish it were), I'd buy the whole series right now. - I'm a DVM, not an MD, and I've never been into fantasy gaming but I love this book more than words can describe. The illustrations are beautiful, and the concepts and descriptions are so clever that I get at least one delighted giggle from each page. I've also learned some really interesting new facts, such as the story of Balto the sled-dog (I am a veterinarian after all;), which I looked up after being intrigued by the reference to him in the description of C. diphtheriae. This book would make a wonderful and unique gift for anyone in the medical sciences. I just bought another copy as a gift for my boss. Review: This book is awesome for so many reasons - This book is awesome for so many reasons: the whole conceit of turning bacteria and diseases into D&D style monsters, then describing their treatments as the heroes of the realm is just too cool for words, but the fact that it even presents itself with world-building elements (like how the heroes all have flaws that sometimes cause more troubles than they cure) just makes it all the better. It's first and foremost a learning aid for medical students or just general knowledge, and as that it's top-notch, but its use for ideas for gaming put it over the top. ## Features - Bacteria - D&D Styling - Hard Cover ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,312,949 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 64 Reviews | ## Images ![Bacterionomicon: The Creatures of the Healing Blade - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-CFy19QVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If this were one of a series (and I wish it were), I'd buy the whole series right now. *by A***J on January 17, 2016* I'm a DVM, not an MD, and I've never been into fantasy gaming but I love this book more than words can describe.

She even told me "Buy this book and you will remember bacteria and correlating antibiotics for the rest of your life". She was absolutely right. This is detailed in such a way that makes it easy to read and understand. I only wish they made similar books for every aspect of the medical field. I have since been urging all of my colleagues to buy it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/110234494-bacterionomicon-the-creatures-of-the-healing-blade](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/110234494-bacterionomicon-the-creatures-of-the-healing-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
