Title overview

The re-emergence of measles, advances in genetic engineering and gene therapy, drug-resistant pathogens: exploring microbiology has never been more interesting, or more important. Microbiology with Diseases by Taxonomy presents complex topics of microbiology in an understandable manner, while maintaining thoroughness and accuracy. It also highlights the positive effects of microorganisms on our lives, along with the medically important microorganisms that cause disease. The taxonomic organization of the disease chapters introduces microbial diseases by type of pathogenic microbe, helping you recognize shared characteristics among microbe categories.

The 7th Edition incorporates the latest scientific and educational research and data available. Case studies throughout have been extensively evaluated and enhanced, review questions have been expanded, and more.
