The new edition incorporates the many recent advances in all aspects of microbiology which have arisen since the last edition. The latest developments in basic biology (physiology, biochemistry, cell biology and genetics), new methods (molecular biology and staining techniques) and additional applications have been incorporated. Hot new topics include quorum sensing, PCR-related techniques and conjugate vaccines.
i am a first year medical student in philadelphia and i have been looking through various microbiology texts. the singleton books is interesting reading and the greatest strength it has exists in its condensed writing. it's short and sweet, but it is about as detailed as a piece of cardboard. good for general bacteriology- even for students who dont know much about biology in general. not a medical text in any way.
