Outbreak: Cases in the Real-World Microbiology

Outbreak: Cases in Real-World Microbiology, 2nd Edition, is the newest edition of this fascinating textbook designed for introductory microbiology students and instructors. Thoroughly revised, this collection of case studies of real-world disease outbreaks, generously illustrated in full color, offers material that directly impacts college-level students, while the book's unique presentation offers instructors the flexibility to use it effectively in a number of ways. More than 90 outbreak case studies, organized into six sections according to the human body system affected, illustrate the wide range of diseases caused by microbial pathogens. The studies are presented at differing levels of difficulty and can be taught at all undergraduate levels. Each case study includes questions for students to think about, discuss, and answer, and the book includes an appendix that directs students to the specific reference material on which each case was based, providing the opportunity to investigate further and to apply the reference content to the case being studied. Each of the six sections of the book concludes with a College Perspective and a Global Perspective case study. The College Perspective provides a direct and practical link between the microbiology course and the daily lives of students. The Global Perspective connects students with outbreaks that have occurred in countries around the world to facilitate understanding of the social, religious, economic, and political values at play in the treatment and prevention of infectious disease. At the end of every section, detailed descriptions offer concise yet complete information on each disease involved in that section.

Generously illustrated with color photographs, the book integrates headline-making disease outbreaks into the microbiology coursework and is the first work of its kind to utilize material that directly impacts college-age students. Unique in its presentation, Outbreak is designed to offer instructors the flexibility to use the book effectively in a number of ways, while providing students with the critical content they need." "A total of 96 classroom-tested case studies cover the core topics of microbiology, including basic microbiology concepts, medical microbiology, bioterrorism, environmental microbiology, and industrial microbiology. The cases cover a wide array of outbreaks at differing levels of difficulty and can be taught at all undergraduate levels. At the end of each case study are questions for students to think about and answer. An appendix directs students to specific reference material which provides information relevant to the study questions and encourages students to apply the reference content to the case being studied. An additional appendix provides handy information about antimicrobial agents in table format." "Each of the nine sections of the book features a College Perspective and a Global Perspective case study. The College Perspective provides a direct and practical link between the microbiology course and the daily lives of students. The Global Perspective connects students with outbreaks that have occurred in countries around the world. The latter facilitates understanding of the social, religious, and political values at play in a given outbreak situation and introduces students to the economic forces that impact the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. At the end of each section, following the case studies, are detailed descriptions of the diseases involved in the outbreak case studies. These descriptions offer concise information on the causes, transmission, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these diseases. Book jacket."--Jacket Integrates headline-making disease outbreaks into microbiology coursework to provide critical content to college-age students. • Presents case studies covering a wide variety of subject areas, including general, medical, environmental, and industrial microbiology. • Integrates current outbreaks that are featured in news headlines into the classroom for added relevance. • Features a discovery-oriented answer key that directs students to appropriate reference material rather than providing complete answers to the study questions. • Introduces students to the relevance of diverse social, economic, political, and religious issues that exist in various parts of the world. • Provides case studies of varying levels of difficulty. • Presents complete information about each disease and microbe covered. 2006. 318pages, illustrations, index.

Bioterrorism Outbreaks "The science of microbiology is fascinating to those of us who have taken up the challenge of researching and teaching in this largely undiscovered and rapidly expanding field. One of the significant challenges faced by microbiology educators is to balance the need for providing a content foundation to students against the time required to demonstrate how microbiology affects their lives. The goal of Outbreak: Cases in Real-World Microbiology is to help students make the important connections between the content of the course, their everyday lives, and the ways in which microbiology impacts society as a whole. These real-world cases provide an opportunity for students to apply practical knowledge and to integrate their solutions to specific problems in cultures where customs, religion, public resources, and infrastructure influence the analysis"-- Provided by publisher
