RESUMEN
Mucho se ha hablado y escrito sobre la vida y obra del sabio cubano Carlos J. Finlay, no así acerca del doctor Juan Nicolás Dávalos, considerado en su época como el bacteriólogo cubano más renombrado; aunque su obra no llega a situarse a escala mundial, como la de aquel, bien merece ser reconocida por sus innegables valores científicos y humanos. Con este trabajo se pretende lograr un acercamiento al quehacer de estos 2 hombres de ciencia. Para ello se realizó una revisión bibliográfica. Se mostró en el caso del doctor Finlay su actividad desde el punto de vista microbiológico, y en el caso del doctor Dávalos, se brindó una semblanza de su vida y obra, que contribuya a propagar el conocimiento de esta.
ABSTRACT
A lot has been said and written about the life and work of the Cuban scholar Carlos J. Finlay, but not about Dr. Juan Nicolás Dávalos, considered in his time as the most renown Cuban bacteriologist. Although his work did not reach a place at the world level as that of Carlos J. Finlay, it deserves to be recognized due to its undeniable scientific and human values. With this work, the author pretends to get closer to the work of these two men of science. To this end, a bibliographical review was made. Finlay's activity from the microbiological point of view was approached and in the case of Dr. Dávalos, it was made a sketch of his life and work that contributes to spread their knowledge.
