Contents:
A brief history of microbiology -- The chemistry of microbiology -- Cell structure and function -- Microscopy, staining, and classification -- Microbial metabolism -- Microbial nutrition and growth -- Microbial genetics -- Recombinant DNA technology -- Controlling microbial growth in the environment -- Controlling microbial growth in the body : antimicrobial drugs -- Characterizing and classifying prokaryotes -- Characterizing and classifying eukaryotes -- Characterizing and classifying viruses, viroids, and prions -- Infection, infectious disease, and epidemiology -- Innate immunity -- Adaptive immunity -- Immunization and immune testing -- AIDS and other immune disorders -- Microbial diseases of the skin and wounds -- Microbial diseases of the nervous system and eyes -- Microbial cardiovascular and systemic diseases -- Microbial diseases of the respiratory system -- Microbial diseases of the digestive system -- Microbial diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems -- Applied and environmental microbiology.
Summary: Great book for class. Was a required text but was simple and easy to read. The set came with a textbook, mastering microbiology online package that comes with subscription to the homework and an e-text, and two magazines about microbiology. I would have opted for a cheaper version if my professor hadn't requested this one. The irony is, the professor that specifically wanted this version actually dropped out from teaching the class due to health reasons last minute and this specific package became excessive. However, I had bought this package three months in advance to the summer class I was taking (back in March). Therefore, the extra two magazines added in with this package became unnecessary. Check with your professor before you purchase this set if you want to save money. ( Some student in class just purchased the mastering microbiology set that came with e-text and homework access. This is most likely the cheapest option.)
