Dr. Heather Moulton-Meissner is a microbiologist whose work focuses on identifying unusual sources of patient infections in healthcare facilities. This work often involves scrutinizing the environment, such as medical equipment, surfaces, drugs, and water for the bacteria suspected of causing illness. She has also kept freshwater fish for 28 years, with an emphasis on large predatory Central and South American cichlids. Her love of microbiology is reflected in fishkeepinig, where she uses her knowledge to maintain a balanced community of beneficial bacteria in her tanks, while quickly identifying and correctly treating pathogenic bacterial infections in her livestock.
