ABOUT THE BOOK 

 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.Features Organization and CurrencyThe 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of microbes.Chapter 3 (Cell Structure and Function) de-emphasizes the term ”prokaryote” (a term that is based on an outdated perception of taxonomy and is thus misleading to students) and instead emphasizes the three domains of living organisms, matching the latest taxonomic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.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.Student Interest FeaturesMicrobe-at-a-Glance boxes showcase representative microbes in each of the disease chapters.
