MC GRAW HILL Foundations In Microbiology by TALARO
Written with the non-major/allied health student in mind, Foundations in Microbiology offers an accessible writing style through the use of tools such as case files and analogies to thoroughly explain difficult microbiology concepts. Active learning is promoted via innovative features such as concept mapping and "Visual Understanding" questions (using art to make content connections between chapters). A taxonomic approach is used for the study of pathogens. 1 The Main Themes of Microbiology 2 The Chemistry of Biology 3 Tools of the Laboratory: The Methods for Studying Microorganisms 4 A Survey of Prokaryotic Cells and Microorganisms 5 A Survey of Eukaryotic Cells and Microorganisms 6 An Introduction to the Viruses 7 Elements of Microbial Nutrition, Ecology, and Growth 8 Microbial Metabolism 9 Microbial Genetics 10 Genetic Engineering 11 Physical and Chemical Agents for Microbial Control 12 Drugs, Microbes, Host--The Elements of Chemotherapy 13 Microbe-Human Interactions 14 Nonspecific Host Defenses 15 Adaptive, Specific Immunity and Immunization 16 Disorders in Immunity 17 Diagnosing Infections 18 The Cocci of Medical Importance 19 The Gram-Positive Bacilli of Medical Importance 20 The Gram-Negative Bacilli of Medical Importance 21 Miscellaneous Bacterial Agents of Disease 22 The Fungi of Medical Importance 23 The Parasites of Medical Importance 24 Introduction to Viruses That Infect Humans: The DNA Viruses 25 The RNA Viruses That Infect Humans 26 Environmental Microbiology 27 Applied Microbiology
