Microbiology: Basic and Clinical Principles [Pearson Channel]

Microbiology: Basic and Clinical Principles is written from the ground up for pre-nursing and allied health students. The text teaches the fundamentals of microbiology with a clinical focus to give you practice applying critical thinking to real-world healthcare scenarios. This is the first microbiology text written to emphasize medically relevant topics and to align with ASM’s Curriculum Guidelines for Microbiology in Nursing and Allied Health.

In the 2nd Edition, interactive features expand the clinical focus and help further link lecture and lab content. This edition provides extensive Covid-19 coverage; updated sepsis scoring standards; new therapeutics, diagnostics, and preventatives; updates to transmission precautions; and diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM. You’ll learn why microbiology matters, as you prepare to be one of tomorrow’s healthcare heroes.
