Microbes
affect our lives in a variety of ways—playing an important role in our health,
food, agriculture, and environment. While some microbes are beneficial, others
are pathogenic or opportunistic.
Microbes:
Concepts and Applications describes basic microbe biology and identification
and shows not only how they operate in the subfields of medicine,
biotechnology, environmental science, bioengineering, agriculture, and food
science, but how they can be harnessed as a resource. It provides readers with
a solid grasp of etiologic agents, pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the
role of microbes as therapeutic agents.
Placing a
major emphasis on omics technology, the book covers recent developments in the
arena of microbes and discusses their role in industry and agriculture, as well
as in related fields such as immunology, cell biology, and molecular biology.
It offers complete discussions of the major bacterial, viral, fungal, and
parasitic pathogens; includes information on emerging infectious diseases,
antibiotic resistance, and bioterrorism; and talks about the future challenges
in microbiology.
The most
complete treatment of microbial biology available, Microbes features
eye-opening chapters on:
- Human and Microbial World
- Gene Technology: Application and Techniques
- Molecular Diagnostic and Medical Microbiology
- Identification and Classification of Microbes
- Diversity of Microorganisms
- Microbes in Agriculture
- Microbes as a Tool for Industry and Research
Complete
with charts and figures, this book is an invaluable textbook for university
teachers, students, researchers, and people everywhere who care about
microorganisms.
