The new edition of Introduction to Microbiology addresses the needs of allied health students like never before. This unique author team of a leading microbiology educator ( and former president of ASM-America Society for Microbiology) and a physician understands how to include the correct amount of detail to explain complex topics at the non-majors level, while motivating students to learn about the exciting world of microbes through real clinical studies. This revision includes more motivating case studies, and provides even greater emphasis of appropriate detail and refinement of the notably clear writing style by eliminating jargon in every chapter. Significant updating throughout ensures students have access to the most current research in this dynamic field. The supplements package is now one of the most competitive packages in this market, with numerous technology supplements.
