Microbial diseases and their control. 30.Pathogenicity of microorganisms -- 31.Antimicrobial chemotherapy -- 32.Clinical microbiology and immunology -- 33.The epidemiology of infectious disease -- Part nine.Applied microbiology -- 3.4.Microbiology of food -- 35.Applied environmental microbiology.
Summary: In using the 7th edition of Prescott, Harley and Klein's 'Microbiology' as the foundation for the development of this book, the authors present a discussion of the broad discipline of microbiology and focus on readability and the integration of several key themes with an emphasis on evolution, ecology and diversity throughout.
