Microbiology: Alternate Edition with Diseases by Body Systems retains the same hallmark art program and clear writing style that have made Robert Bauman¿s Microbiology such a success, while offering a new body-systems organization for the "disease chapters" (Chapters 19-24). Filled with interesting vignettes and cutting-edge research, Bauman's text brings the wonders of microbiology alive while providing a solid, comprehensive introduction to the field.
