Microbiology for the Health Professions - A Case Study Approach (Paperback)

Microbiology for the Health Professions: A Case Study Approach features a unique focus on the basic microbiology required for students in nursing and allied health professions.

Opening chapters describe the importance of microbiology to the health professions, identify the differences between pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms, and present chemistry basics for microbiology. Students learn about prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure, microbial metabolism and growth, the transmission and epidemiology of microorganisms, and mechanisms of infection establishment and pathogenesis. Additional chapters address basic microbial genetics, viruses, parasites, fungal pathogens, nosocomial infections, global microbiology, and more. Each chapter includes an introduction, reflection questions, summaries, key takeaways, case scenarios, and post-reading questions to support the learning experience and increase retention of the material. Microbiology for the Health Professions is an exemplary and immersive resource for courses and programs in nursing and allied health professions.
