Pearson (Verlag)
978-0-13-483230-2 (ISBN)
Explore the invisible world of microbiology and why it matters to human life
Known for its unique art program and conversational writing style, Robert Bauman’s Microbiology with Diseases by Taxonomy consistently emphasizes why microbiology matters, especially in health care. The taxonomic organization of the disease chapters (Chapters 19—27) presents microbial diseases by type of pathogenic microbe, helping students recognize shared characteristics among categories of microbes.
The 6th Edition presents a revitalized and strengthened pedagogical framework based on how students learn best. Checkpoints appear throughout the text and direct students to interactive versions of text features in Mastering Microbiology. The interactive features provide just-in-time remediation that helps fill skill gaps and gives students immediate feedback on their progress with the material. New interactive concept maps provide opportunities for students to construct their knowledge and can be assigned in Mastering Microbiology. To emphasize how our understanding of microbiology is constantly expanding, the new edition integrates cutting-edge microbiology research that is critical for today’s students. New Research on Microbial metabolism is introduced in Chapter 5 as well as recent findings on recombinant DNA technology and CRISPR technique are found in Chapter 8.
Also available as a Pearson eText or packaged with Mastering Microbiology
Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience available within Mastering Microbiology. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place – even when offline.

About our authors ROBERT W. BAUMAN is a professor of biology and past chairman of the Department of Biological Sciences at Amarillo College in Amarillo, Texas. He has taught microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, and botany for over thirty years. In 2004, the students of Amarillo College selected Dr. Bauman as the recipient of the John F. Mead Faculty Excellence Award and he has been nominated for the one-time award every year since. He received an M.A. degree in botany from the University of Texas at Austin and a Ph.D. in biology from Stanford University. His research interests have included the morphology and ecology of freshwater algae, the cell biology of marine algae (particularly the deposition of cell walls and intercellular communication), environmentally triggered chromogenesis in butterflies, and terrestrial oil pollution remediation by naturally occurring bacteria. He is a member of the American Society of Microbiology (ASM) where he has held national offices, Texas Community College Teachers Association (TCCTA) where he serves in a statewide position of leadership, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), and The Lepidopterists’ Society. When he is not writing books, he enjoys spending time with his family: gardening, hiking, camping, rock climbing, backpacking, cycling, skiing, and reading by a crackling fire in the winter and in a gently swaying hammock in the summer. TODD P. PRIMM (contributor) is a Professor at Sam Houston State University, where he teaches pre-nursing and general microbiology. He also serves as Director of the Professional and Academic Center for Excellence, which focuses on improving teaching and learning on campus. In 2010, he was Distinguished Alumnus of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences of Baylor College of Medicine, where he earned a Ph.D. in Biochemistry. He received a B.S. from Texas A&M University. He is very active in the American Society for Microbiology and received the Texas Branch 2015 Faculty Teaching Award. He was chair of the organizing committee for the 2013 ASM Conference for Undergraduate Educators, participated in the 2012 Research Residency of the ASM/NSF Biology Scholars Program, and currently serves on the editorial board for the Journal of Microbiology and Biology Education. He is also an affiliate staff member with the international organization Cru. He loves teaching and mentoring students and spending time with his wonderful wife of 25 years and their five children.
