Prescott's Principles of Microbiology provides a balanced, comprehensive introduction to all major areas of microbiology. Because of this balance, Prescott's Principles of Microbiology  is appropriate for microbiology majors and mixed majors courses. The authors have focused on readability, artwork, and the integration of several key themes, including evolution, ecology and diversity, throughout the text, making an already superior text even better.
Evolution as a Framework:Introduced immediately in chapter 1 and used as an overarching theme throughout, evolution helps unite microbiological con-cepts and provides a framework upon which students can build their knowledge
Molecular Microbiology and Immunology-The second edition includes comprehensive coverage of genetics, biotechnology, genomics and metagenomics, immunology, and the human microbiome. A streamlined discussion of im- munity, with enhanced coverage of innate and adaptive link-ges, helps students grasp the complexity and specificity of immune responses. A new chapter, The Human Microbiome and Host Interactions, introduces students to the development and impact of the human microbiome
