Description
McGrawHill Prescotts Microbiology (ISE) 12th Edition by Joanne Willey and Kathleen Sandman and Dorothy Wood
About The Book
The author team of Prescott’s Microbiology continues to provide a modern approach to microbiology using evolution as a framework. This new 12th edition integrates impactful new changes to include a fresh new design to engage students and important content updates including SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 which are prominently featured, taxonomic schemes that have been extensively revised, recent epidemiological data, and mRNA vaccines which just scrapes the surface of this new edition.
