Academic Context

• The sections referenced correspond to major topics in microbiology, such as microbial infection and pathogenesis, innate and adaptive immunity, immune disorders, and epidemiology.

• Students should consult the table to ensure they are reading the correct material for their assigned topics, regardless of which edition of the textbook they use.

• This equivalency is especially important for courses where students may have access to different editions due to textbook updates or availability.
