Microbiology

Product DescriptionMicrobiology: An Evolving Science promotes a clear understanding of this rapidly advancing field in two distinctive ways. First, an emphasis on current research, genomics, and molecular genetics enables students to learn how microbiologists think as they master the discipline’s foundational topics. Second, a stunning and consistently executed [...]

New Nasal Vaccine Blocks Parasite Transmission to Mosquitoes An experiemental nasally administered malaria vaccine prevented parasite transmission from infected mice to mosquitoes and could play an important role in the fight against human malaria. The researchers from Japan report their findings in the December 2009 issue of the journal Infection and Immunity. Malaria is one of the most significant infectious diseases affecting developing...  

Scientists can gain insights into new ways to use microorganisms in medicine and manufacturing through a coordinated large-scale effort to sequence the genomes of not just individual microorganisms but entire ecosystems, according to a new report from the American Academy of Microbiology that outlines recommendations for this massive effort.  

As some students fight off the seasonal flu, bacteria struggle to deal with viruses of their own, and one group of University researchers recently discovered how the bacteria do so. "There are parasitic invaders [that enter] into cells, and they can cause real problems, even change the whole organism," said Michael Terns, a professor of biochemistry and microbiology.  

In about an hour, turn on your intertubes!!!

The data in this study indicate that the genome of this opportunistic pathogen has evolved through only a small number of horizontal gene acquisition events, highlighting the narrow boundary that separates bacteria that are long-term residents on or in the human body from opportunistic pathogens.
