| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | The Fourth Edition of Microbiology with Diseases by Taxonomy is the most cutting-edge microbiology book available, offering unparalleled currency, accuracy and assessment. The state-of-the-art approach includes 18 new Video Tutors written and developed by the author to walk students through key microbiology concepts, bringing the textbook to life. QR codes in the textbook enable students to use their smartphone or tablet to instantly interact with these step-by-step tutorials and visualize important concepts and processes. Compelling clinical case studies and emerging disease case studies give students opportunities to apply new knowledge and explore real-world microbiology. Student comprehension is ensured with end-of-chapter practice that encompasses both visual and conceptual understanding. This edition retains the hallmark art program and clear writing style that have made Dr. Robert W. Bauman’s book an engaging and successful introductory text.<br/>Features <br/>Organization and Currency<br/>The taxonomic organization of the disease chapters (Chapters 19—25) presents microbial diseases by type of pathogenic microbe, helping students recognize shared characteristics among categories of microbes.<br/>Chapter 3 (Cell Structure and Function) de-emphasizes the term ”prokaryote” (a term that is based on an outdated perception of taxonomy and is thus misleading to students) and instead emphasizes the three domains of living organisms, matching the latest taxonomic research. This state-of-the-science organization sets this book apart from all other allied health microbiology books.<br/>The immunology chapters (Chapters 15—18), which have been and continue to be reviewed in-depth by immunology specialists, reflect the most current understanding of this rapidly-evolving field of any microbiology book available.<br/>Student Interest Features<br/>Microbe-at-a-Glance boxes showcase representative microbes in each of the disease chapters. They feature an illustration of a microbe accompanied by very brief summaries of taxonomy, morphology, virulence factors, diseases caused and treatment/prevention. These “snapshots” also appear as flashcards on the book’s website, giving students extra “on-the-go” practice and review opportunities.<br/>Beneficial Microbe boxes emphasize the practical or benevolent nature and uses of microbes and help students overcome the common misconception that all microbes cause disease.<br/>Clinical Case Study and Emerging Disease Case Study boxes are written in an engaging narrative voice and feature a patient’s experience with microbial diseases and follow-up critical thinking questions for students. Additional activities and the latest information about emerging diseases are online in the Study Area of MasteringMicrobiology (www.masteringmicrobiology.com).<br/>Highlight boxes appear throughout the text and focus on interesting topics in microbiology; e.g., what causes that “fishy” smell in fish markets, what allows some organisms to glow in the dark, how gold-mining microbes are used and which cutting-edge molecular techniques are used in microbiology.<br/>Table of Contents1.
