Summary

At the core of Microbiology: The Human Experience are case histories that put foundational concepts in a real-world context. The bones are the consistent structure of learning objectives, summaries, and questions that support the clear, accurate, and organized presentation of the content. The connective tissue is the art and highly readable text, by two masterful teachers and an experienced physician assistant, which puts infectious disease front and center and highlights contemporary topics such as the human microbiome.Written by a microbiologist with over two decades of collective experience both teaching and coordinating lab courses, Microbiology: The Laboratory Experience teaches the science behind the labs. It explains, with a uniquely-engaging authorial voice, the reasons behind the methods. Each lab has a thorough introduction that emphasizes the relevant concepts and applications, and is accompanied by an unparalleled visual program. Microbiology: The Laboratory Experience can be used independently or in tandem with either of Norton’s microbiology textbooks—Microbiology: The Human Experience and Microbiology: An Evolving Science—at an unmatched value.
