Last edition Elsevier Master Microbiology where it matters. Everywhere. An engaging and clear approach to learning complex microbiology topics and theory Praised for its exceptionally clear presentation of complex topics, this #1-selling text for microbiology non-majors provides a careful balance of concepts and applications, proven art that teaches and the most robust, dynamic media in MasteringMicrobiology. The Twelfth Edition ofTortora, Funke, and Case’s Microbiology: An Introduction focuses on big picture concepts and themes in microbiology, encouraging students to visualize and synthesize tough topics such as microbial metabolism, immunology, and microbial genetics. The text and accompanying resources also help students make connections between microbiology theory and disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. MasteringMicrobiology is not included. Students, if MasteringMicrobiology is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. MasteringMicrobiology should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

- • NEW! Big Picture “Tough Topic” features are 2-page spreads that focus on the most challenging topics for students to master: Metabolism (Chapter 5), Genetics (Chapter 8), and Immunity (Chapter 16).
- • Each Big Picture spread breaks down these important concepts into manageable steps and gives students a clear learning framework for the related chapters.
- • Big Pictures are assignable as coaching activities in MasteringMicrobiology
- • Quick-response (QR) codes allow students to view related MicroFlix videos on their smart device..
- • NEW! Big Picture “Disease” features are arranged in two-page spreads within each body-system disease chapter (Chapters 21-26) as well as in Chapter 19 (Immune Disorders).
- • Each spread focuses on a particular disease and applies it to a related real-world challenge, many dealing with public health issues. For example, Chapter 24 discusses the reemergence of pertussis as a health threat in developed nations and related changes in vaccine formulations, while Chapter 19 includes a discussion of how the human microbiome and autoimmune diseases may be related.
- • Each Big Picture Disease spread includes Key Concepts that encourage students to make the connection between the presented topic and previously learned microbiology principles.
