Description

The second edition of Visualizing Microbiology contains a completely redesigned TOC and the most current coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. This text is ideal for introductory microbiology courses for non-majors and pre-allied health students. Visualizing Microbiology brings the narrative to life with an applied clinical focus, helping students see and understand the unseen in the world of microbiology. The unique visual pedagogy of the text provides a powerful combination of content and visuals ideal for microbiology.

New to Edition

Visualizing Microbiology has been carefully revised to respond to user feedback and include the most recent developments in the field regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic. All material been revised with the most current data on incidence, treatment, and prevention of microbial diseases:

Updated classification of bacteria and viruses included throughout.

New Case Studies, Microbiology InSights, Clinical Applications, and What a Microbiologist Sees explore topics of current interest.
Figures and tables revisedto enhance their learning features and value as study tools.
Two new chapters:

Chapter 2, An Introduction to the Chemical Basis of Life, covers basic chemical concepts that will be essential for understanding later course material, including atomic structure, chemical interactions, the chemistry of water, pH, and essential carbon-based chemistry. This new chapter provides fundamental information for beginning undergraduate students and can also be used with more advanced students for a review of basic concepts.
Chapter 5from the first edition, Eukaryotic Organisms, is now two separate chapters, and coverage of both topics has been expanded. In the new edition, Chapter 6, The Eukaryotic Cell, presents information about the structure and function of eukaryotic cell components and the evolution of organisms in the eukaryotic domain. Chapter 7, Eukaryotic Organisms, provides an overview of eukaryotic microorganisms, highlighting those that are human pathogens.

Features

Case Studies: Patient case scenarios frame each course section, uniquely written in a personal narrative format that enhances long-term knowledge retention. Students are exposed to medical scenarios that accurately simulate true patient/care provider interactions. These realistic experiences nurture critical thinking skills while also encouraging the development of patient empathy, improving comprehension of patient compliance problems, and facilitating student understanding of transcultural health care concerns.

Visual Pedagogy: The pedagogy and organization of Visualizing Microbiology is based on decades of research on the effective use of visuals in learning. The animations, videos, figures, and photos are designed to explain, present, and organize new information in a way that promotes greater retention and stimulates critical thinking.

Applied Clinical Focus: The “Microbiologist's Toolbox” highlights key laboratory diagnostic techniques, “What a Microbiologist Sees” puts microorganisms into an everyday perspective, and “Clinical Applications” introduces the latest research on microbiology applications in health care.
