This photo of Escherichia coli being attacked by bacteriophages highlights rapidly developing technologies for using phages to treat antibiotic resistant infections without destroying normal resident bacteria, and without side effects. Phages are also being used to detect and remove pathogens from our food supplies, both plant and animal. Also exciting is the use of phages as vehicles to delivery DNA vaccines, often directly to mammalian immune system cells. Recent work also suggests possible antitumor effects of phages. We stand on the edge of a whole new world of exploration and applications of microbiology. For over 20 years, and through five editions, "Black's Microbiology: Principles and Explorations" has captured students' imaginations. Her enthusiasm, passion, and knack for memorable stories and anecdotes bring the study of microbiology to life in a way few other texts can match. Now updated to reflect the latest topics in the field (e.g., SARS, bioterrorism, GMO's, geomicrobiology) and accompanied by state-of-the-art animations of key concepts, this new edition is sure to help inspire a new generation of enthusiasts for the dynamic science of microbiology. Critical acclaim: 'I continue to find Black's text an excellent contribution to undergraduate Microbiology education' - Karen Messley, Rock Valley College. 'I like the conversational and informal style Black adopts throughout the book. This is a book, which could very well engage even the most reluctant student. It is comprehensive, nicely detailed, and incorporates many aids to teaching and learning...' - Iris Cook, Westchester CC. '[The text] is a wonderful introduction into the world of microorganisms for students from a wide variety of backgrounds' - Jeff G. Leid, Northern Arizona University. '...I have found it [the book] accurate to a fault, brilliant at getting students motivated and interested in microbiology, and a great practical training book' - Gerard O'Donovan, University of North Texas. Also available is the "Laboratory Exercises in Microbiology", 2nd Edition by Robert A. Pollack, et al. ISBN: 0-471-42082-4, 264 pages, paper, [copyright] 2005. Written specifically for allied health students, this lab manual presents a variety of highly engaging activities and experiments that convey the basic concepts of microbiology.

I received the book in very poor condition. About 1/3 of the book has what looks like coffee spilled on it. I am extremely thankful it's a rental, and that I did not purchase this textbook.

Very good condition and fast delivery
I received the text within a week of my order. I purchased the International ed for microbiology and they had the cheapest price of all who were selling the textbook. They copy I received had no marks, writing or highlighting and appears to actually be new. I would recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality at a good price.

Great Price
I cant say this is a great book, because personally if I did not have to study it for school I would have never bought it. What I can say is that I saved at least $70.00 buying it from Alibris. I bought it brand new for $50.00 when my college wanted $120.00 for a USED one. I actually bought another book I needed for Microbiology and paid $15.00 less than my school wanted and that includeds shipping. This is a great site to get books from. Im very pleased and will be back.
