Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, those being unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells). Microbiology encompasses numerous sub-disciplines including virology, parasitology, mycology and bacteriology.

(OpenStax) Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

As one of the largest professional life science organizations in the world and a leader in scientific publishing, ASM is the home for microbial scientists to connect, learn, discover and prepare for the future. We connect more than 30,000 members and millions of experts around the globe, harnessing their science to serve humanity and solve the most pressing global and public health challenges.
