Microbiology: A Laboratory Manual, Global Edition

NEW! A new experiment on the Propagation of Isolated Bacteriophage Cultures has been added to the Eleventh Edition. This experiment (39) guides students to isolate bacteriophages for genetic manipulation. The genetic manipulation of bacteriophages is an important technique in current clinical research as a possible way to treat antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections.
NEW! Biosafety Levels (BSLs) have been added to the Eleventh Edition to alert students to appropriate safety techniques. The organisms within this book are mostly BSL-1 with some optional BSL-2 organisms. The Eleventh Edition also reflects the most up to date safety protocols from governing bodies such as the EPA, ASM, and AOAC, better preparing students for professional lab work.
NEW! Tips for Success appear in select experiments and draw attention to common mistakes and stumbling blocks in the lab. Each tip explains why specific techniques are necessary to yield accurate results, helping guide students on crucial procedural steps and maximizing the available lab media and time.
NEW! Revised experiments include options for alternate media, making the experiments affordable and accessible to all sizes of lab programs. Experiment 60 has been revised to focus on the normal microbiota of human skin and the importance of hand washing.
NEW! Easy-to-adapt Lab Reports include blank spaces or options for “alternate organisms” for easy customization with organisms that are readily available.
MasteringMicrobiology Lab-specific Assignments are available within each student’s subscription for the Pearson online homework and assessment program. To help students prepare for each class and get the most out of lab time, instructors may assign:
- Pre-lab quizzes for each of the 72 experiments in the Cappuccino/Welsh Lab Manual; these consist of 10 multiple-choice questions with personalized feedback for wrong answers. Each question includes a Bloom’s taxonomy rating.
- MicroLab Tutor Coaching Activities combine live-action technique videos and molecular animations, when appropriate, with assessment and answer-specific feedback to coach students in how to correctly perform each lab procedure and interpret/analyze different lab results.
- Lab Technique Videos give students an opportunity to see techniques performed correctly and quiz themselves on lab procedures both before and after lab time. New Lab Technique videos demonstrate The Scientific Method and How to Write a Lab Report.
- MicroLab Practical Activities assess students’ ability to interpret and analyze important lab tests, procedures, and results before their Lab Practical.
Clinical Applications are integrated into each lab to help students understand why they’re learning each technique and make the connection between lab, lecture, and possible future careers as nurses or in other allied health fields.
The comprehensive coverage of core microbiology topics includes experiments in the areas of genetics, immunology, and biotechnology.
A wide range of experiments progressing from simple to complex enable instructors to tailor their laboratory classes to the topics they wish to cover.
Experiments use the most common and affordable laboratory materials, designed to accommodate any lab.
Over 90 photographs in full color and numerous illustrations appear directly alongside the experiments, helping students visualize techniques and expected results.
