This title is a Peaon Global Edition. The Editorial team at Pearson has worked closely with educators around the world to include content which is especially relevant to students outside the United States.

Motivate students using compelling healthcare applications.

• NEW! Micro Matters animated cases connect concepts across chapters and help students recognize the clinical importance of foundational material. Micro Matters videos are accessible via QR codes in select chapters and are also assignable in MasteringMicrobiology.
• NEW! Interactive Microbiology is a dynamic suite of interactive tutorials and animations that teach key microbiology concepts including Operons, Biofilms and Quorum Sensing, Complement, and Antibiotic Resistance. Interactive Microbiology actively engages students with each topic, enabling them to learn from manipulating variables, predicting outcomes, and answering formative and summative assessment questions. Each tutorial presents the concept within a real healthcare scenario in order to emphasize problem solving and interest students from the beginning.
  • Interactive Microbiology coaching activities are assignable in MasteringMicrobiology, and each is presented in two parts: one for basic concepts, and one as a “scientific thinking” exercise that requires students to apply what they’ve learned to a novel scenario.
• NEW! Disease in Depth 2-page spreads feature important and representative diseases. These highly visual spreads contain illustrations, micrographs and info-graphics, providing in-depth overviews of selected diseases for comprehensive study and review.
  • NEW! MasteringMicrobiology Disease in Depth coaching activities provide guidance through each disease using personalized hints and feedback and conclude with a prompt for students to complete independent research.
