This note will provide
an introduction to microbiology. It also focuses on the evolution, diversity and
taxonomy of microbes and their ecological significance. Topics covered includes:
Cell or Molecular Biology and Molecular Genetics, Physiology and Metabolism,
Evolution and Diversity, Ecology.
This note covers
basic concepts of microbes as pathogens, food spoilage and fermentative
organisms. Microbial relationships to immunology, sanitation, pollution and
geochemical cycling will also be covered.
This
lecture note covers introductory microbiology from a systems perspective,
considering microbial diversity, population dynamics, and genomics. Emphasis is
placed on the delicate balance between microbes and humans, and the changes that
result in the emergence of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
Author(s): Prof. David Schauer and Prof. Edward DeLong
This book begins with a review of the immune system, focusing on
the body's response to invading microorganisms. Bacteria are then covered, first
with a series of chapters presenting the general concepts of bacterial
microbiology and then with chapters detailing the major bacterial pathogenes of
humans.
This book introduces the field of microbiology and
discusses the importance of microorganisms not only as causative agents of
disease but also as important contributors to food production, antibiotic
manufacture, vaccine development, and environmental management.
Author(s): Lansing M Prescott, Donald A
Klein and John P Harley
This book introduces the
microscopy and basic techniques such as culture of bacteria, staining
microorganisms, identification of bacteria and a survey of microorganisms.
