Carefully crafting a textbook to be a truly useful learning tool for students takes time and dedication. Every line of text and every piece of art in this book is scrutinized for instructional usefulness, placement, and pedagogy, and then reexamined with each revision. In this eighth edition, the authors have gone through the book page by page, with more depth than ever before, to make sure it maintains its instructional quality; fantastic art program; relevant and current material; and engaging, user-friendly writing style. Since the first edition, the goals of this book have been to explain complex topics clearly and vividly, and to present the material in a straightforward way that students can understand. The eighth edition continues to meet these goals with the most digitally integrated, up-to-date, and pedagogically important revision yet. Like a great masterpiece hanging in a museum, Foundations in Microbiology is not only beautiful, but also tells a story, composed of many pieces. A great textbook must be carefully constructed to place art where it makes the most sense in the flow of the narrative; create process figures that break down complex processes into their simplest parts; provide explanations at the correct level for the student audience, and offer pedagogical tools that help all types of learners. Many textbook authors write the narrative of their book and call it a day. It is the rare author team indeed, who examines each page and makes changes based on what will help the students the most, so that when the pieces come together, the result is an expertly crafted learning tool—a story of the microbial world. “Foundations in Microbiology is an excellent textbook and getting better all the time.” —Kristine Snow, Fox Valley Technical College A unique feature of this text’s format is the early survey of microbial groups and their taxonomy (chapters 4, 5, 6). By using general and specific names for microbes from the very beginning students develop a working background that eases them into the later chapters. Students have a far greater appreciation for later topics of nutrition, metabolism, genetics, and microbial control if they recognize the main characters—bacteria, viruses, and eukaryotic microorganisms— and already know significant facts about them. x The Profile of an Expertly Crafted Learning Tool Art and organization of content make this book unique Kathy Talaro introduces new art to a revision by carefully sketching out what she envisions in precise detail, with accompanying instructions to the illustrator. The result is accurate, beautifully rendered art that helps difficult concepts come to life. Process Figure 9.6 The Assembly line of DNA replication in a circular bacterial chromosome. (a) A bacterial chromosome showing the overall pattern of replication. There are two replication forks where new DNA is being synthesized. (b) An enlarged view of the left replication fork to show the details of replication. Okazaki fragment 3. The template for the lagging strand runs the opposite direction (3′ to 5′) and must be replicated backwards away from the replication fork so the DNA polymerase can add the nucleotides in the necessary 5′ to 3′ arrangement. 4. Before synthesis of the lagging strand can start, a primase first constructs a short RNA primer to direct the DNA polymerase III. Synthesis can proceed only in short sections and produces segments of RNA primer and new DNA called Okazaki fragments. 5. A second polymerase (DNA polymerase I) acts on the Okazaki fragments by removing the primers. 6. Open spaces in the lagging strand are filled in by a ligase that adds the correct nucleotides. 1. The chromosome to be replicated is continuously unwound by a helicase, forming a replication fork with two template strands. 2. The template for the leading strand (bottom) is correctly oriented for the DNA polymerase III to add nucleotides in the 5′ to 3′ direction towards the replication fork, so it can be synthesized as a continuous strand. Note that direction of synthesis refers to the order of the new strand (red).

“I love the case study intro to the chapter. I feel the students (no matter what discipline/major they are pursuing) benefi t from information presented in a reallife scenario. The information is more engaging and relevant than straight lecture and often leads to great group discussions.” —Tracey M. Steeno, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Chapter opening case files Each chapter opens with a Case File, which helps the students appreciate and understand how microbiology impacts their lives. Line art, micrographs, and quotes have been added to the chapter-opening page, where appropriate, to help the students pull together the big picture and grasp the relevance of the material they’re about to learn. The questions that directly follow the Case File challenge students to begin to think critically about what they are about to read, expecting that they’ll be able to answer them once they’ve worked through the chapter. A new Continuing the Case feature now appears within the chapter where relevant, to help students follow the real-world application of the case. The Case File Perspective wraps up the case at the end of the chapter, pulling together the applicable content and the chapter’s topics. Nearly all Case Files are new in the eighth edition, including hot microbiological topics that are making news headlines today. xi “I think the case study at the beginning of each chapter is wonderful because it introduces the students to the real life scenarios they will be involved in when they go into the allied health profession. So in a sense, these are ‘practice’ studies.” —Carroll W. Bottoms, Collin County Community College The Structure of an Expertly Crafted Learning Tool NEW! The meningococcus: A million of these tiny culprits could fi t on the head of a pin, yet they can knock out a healthy adult in a few hours. Tools of the Laboratory Methods of Studying Microorganisms C H A P T E R 3 revealed no sign of pneumonia, and a blood test indicated an elevated white blood cell count. To rule out a possible brain infection, a puncture of the spinal canal was performed. As it turned out, the cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF) the technician extracted appeared normal, microscopically and macroscopically. Within an hour, she began to drift in and out of consciousness and was extremely lethargic. At one point, the medical team could not fi nd a pulse and noticed dark brown spots developing on her legs. When her condition appeared to be deteriorating rapidly, she was immediately taken to the intensive care unit and placed on intravenous antibiotics. One of the emergency doctors was overheard saying, “Her medical situation was so critical that our intervention was truly a matter of life or death.” Because her symptoms pointed to a possible infection of the central nervous system, a second spinal puncture was performed. This time, the spinal fl uid looked cloudy. A Gram stain was performed right away, and cultures were started. What are signs and symptoms of disease? Give examples from the case that appear to be the most diagnostically signifi cant. Why is so much importance placed on the CSF and its appearance? To continue the case, go to page 74. One Saturday evening in 2007, a 50-year-old woman began to suffer fl ulike symptoms, with fever, aching joints, sore throat, and a headache. Feeling miserable but not terribly concerned, she took some ibuprofen and went to bed. By the following morning, she began to feel increasingly ill and was unstable on her feet, confused, and complaining of light-headedness. Realizing this was more than just the fl u, her husband rushed her immediately to the nearest emergency room. An initial examination showed that most of her vital signs were normal. Conditions that may provide some clues were: rapid pulse and respiration, an infl amed throat, and a stiff neck. A chest X ray CASE FILE 3 Battling a Brain Infection “A matter of life or death” taL75292_ch03_058-088.indd Page 58 11/3/10 6:02 PM user-f468 /Volume/201/MHDQ245/taL75292_disk1of1/0073375292/taL75292_pagefiles CONTINUING CASE FILE 6 Beginning with the fi rst diagnoses in March 2009, the infl uenza outbreak exploded into a pandemic in only six weeks. Cases rapidly appeared in Canada, Central and South America, then Europe and Asia, and eventually more than 200 countries. By CDC estimates, from April to November 2009 in the United States alone, there were 50 million cases and close to 10,000 deaths. Deaths were particularly high among young children and pregnant women whose treatment had been delayed. Fortunately, the disease experienced by most people was milder than the usual seasonal fl u, and it cleared up with few complications. The common symptoms are fever, muscle aches, and problems with breathing and coughing that subside in one or two weeks. The most serious complication is pneumonia. One group that seemed to be less susceptible to H1N1 infl uenza virus were people 60 years or older. ■ What is a pandemic? ■ Why would some people be more resistant to the virus? For a wrap-up, see the Case File Perspective on page 181. taL75292_ch06_158-184.indd Page 169 11/8/10 12:12 PM user-f469 /Volume/201/MHDQ245/taL75292_disk1of1/0073375292/taL75292_pagefiles CASE FILE 9 PERSPECTIVE The source of the infection in the fi rst case was most likely the ventilator that controlled the woman’s breathing. Medical devices are readily contaminated by patients and healthcare workers. Any case acquired during a stay in a hospital is defi ned as a nosocomial infection. These infections are most problematic in very compromised patients, but stringent disinfection procedures can greatly reduce their incidence. The second case probably came from the soiled piece of shrapnel rather than the fi eld hospital. To say that a microbe has resistance to a drug means that it naturally possesses or has acquired a genetic mechanism to avoid the effects of the drug. Usually, its genome carries one or more genes that can eliminate the drug or prevent it from acting on the cells of the microbe. This leaves the microbe free to grow and infect even in the presence of that drug. taL75292_ch09_254-290.indd Page 287 11/12/10 11:18 PM user-f494 /Volume/201/MHDQ245/taL75292_disk1of1/0073375292/taL75292_pagefiles taL75292_fm_i-xxxii.indd Page xi 12/10/10 11:05 AM user-f469 /Volume/201/MHDQ245/taL75292_disk1of1/0073375292/taL75292_pagefiles /Volume/201/MHDQ245/taL75292_disk1of1/0073375292/taL75292_pagefile
