For pre-nursing/allied health students and mixed-majors courses. Connect microbiology to future healthcare careers. Tortora/Case/Bair/Weber/Funke's Microbiology, An Introduction delivers an exceptionally clear presentation of complex topics, a careful balance of concepts and applications, and pedagogically superior art. The trusted clinical focus and student-friendly narrative help students understand why microbiology is relevant to their future healthcare careers.

The 14th Edition deepens the clinical focus and integrates SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 coverage. Updates include innovative microbiology research, revised immunology chapters, and an extensive diversity, equity and inclusion review.

Gerard J. Tortora (Chapters 1-5 and 14-16) is professor of biology and former biology coordinator at Bergen Community College in Paramus, New Jersey. He received his bachelor's degree in biology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and his master's degree in science education from Montclair State College. He has been a member of many professional organisations, including the American Society of Microbiology (ASM), the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the National Education Association (NEA), and the Metropolitan Association of College and University Biologists (MACUB). Above all, Jerry is devoted to his students and their aspirations. In recognition of this commitment, MACUB presented Jerry with the organisation's 1992 President's Memorial Award. In 1995, he was selected as one of the finest faculty scholars of Bergen Community College and was named Distinguished Faculty Scholar. In 1996, he received a National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) excellence award from the University of Texas and was selected to represent Bergen Community College in a campaign to increase awareness of the contributions of community colleges to higher education. Christine L. Case (Chapters 6-13 and 20-28) taught microbiology at Skyline College in San Bruno, California for 51 years. She received her Ed.D. in curriculum and instruction from Nova Southeastern University and her M.A. in microbiology from San Francisco State University. She was Director for the Society for Industrial Microbiology and is an active member of the ASM. She received the ASM and California Hayward outstanding educator awards. Chris received the SACNAS Distinguished Community College Mentor Award for her commitment to her students, several of whom have presented at undergraduate research conferences and won awards. Chris contributes regularly to the professional literature, develops innovative educational methodologies, and maintains a personal and professional commitment to conservation and the importance of science in society.  Warner B. Bair III (In-the-Clinic videos, eText Media Integration, eText assessments, Dynamic Study Modules) is a professor of biology at Lone Star College–CyFair in Cypress, Texas. He has a bachelor of science in general biology and a Ph.D. in cancer biology, both from the University of Arizona. He has over 10 years of higher education teaching experience, teaching both general biology and microbiology classes. Warner is the recipient of multiple educational awards, including the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) excellence award from the University of Texas and the League for Innovation in the Community College John and Suanne Roueche Excellence Award. Warner has previously authored Interactive Microbiology® videos and activities for the Mastering Microbiology website and is a member of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). He is also a certified Instructional Skill Workshop (ISW) facilitator, where he assists other professors in the development of engaging and active classroom instruction.  Derek Weber (In-the-Clinic videos, eText Media Integration, eText assessments, Dynamic Study Modules) is a professor of biology and microbiology at Raritan Valley Community College in Somerville, New Jersey. He received his B.S. in chemistry from Moravian College and his Ph.D. in biomolecular chemistry from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His current scholarly work focuses on the use of instructional technology in a flipped classroom to create a more active and engaging learning environment. Derek has received multiple awards for these efforts, including the Award for Innovative Excellence in Teaching, Learning and Technology at the International Teaching and Learning Conference. As part of his commitment to foster learning communities, Derek shares his work at state and national conferences and is a regular attendee at the annual American Society for Microbiology Conference for Undergraduate Educators (ASMCUE).  Berdell R. Funke (1926-2020) received his Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in microbiology from Kansas State University. He spent his professional years as a professor of microbiology at North Dakota State University. He taught introductory microbiology, including laboratory sections, general microbiology, food microbiology, soil microbiology, clinical parasitology, and pathogenic microbiology. As a research scientist in the Experiment Station at North Dakota State, he published numerous papers in soil microbiology and food microbiology. In December 2019 Bert received an honorary doctorate from NDSU. The Bison statue he was given at the awards ceremony was a source of great pride for him. His name will live on at NDSU through the Berdell Funke Microbiology Scholarship and the Dr. Berdell Funke Medal of Excellence in Microbiology, which is presented each year to an outstanding graduate.
