ISBN-13: 978-1260409024 ISBN-10: 1260409023

The group of authors for Prescott’s Microbiology continues the tradition of previous versions by providing a well-rounded, comprehensive introduction to all principal areas of microbiology. This equilibrium makes Microbiology suitable for microbiology majors and combined majors programs. Authors have introduced several educational elements aimed at facilitating student learning. They also maintain a focus on clarity, effort, and the incorporation of various essential themes (such as evolution, ecology and selection) throughout the text, enhancing an already impressive text further.
