General Bacteriology: Foundations of Microbiology

Unlock the unseen world of bacteria — the tiny organisms that shape life, health, and the planet.**

General Bacteriology: Foundations of Microbiology for College Students provides a clear, structured, and engaging introduction to the science of bacteria. Designed for undergraduate learners and aspiring microbiologists, this course covers everything from bacterial cell structure and metabolism to genetics, growth, and disease mechanisms.

Students will explore how bacteria function, reproduce, and adapt to diverse environments. The course examines bacterial pathogenesis, antibiotic resistance, and the methods used to control and study bacteria. By integrating theory with real-world applications, learners will also discover how bacteria contribute to biotechnology, medicine, and environmental sustainability — from genetic engineering and fermentation to bioremediation and industrial microbiology.

What You’ll Learn:

• Understand bacterial morphology, structure, and physiology

• Explore bacterial growth, genetics, and metabolic diversity

• Explain mechanisms of disease and antibiotic resistance

• Apply bacteriology to biotechnology and environmental science

• Gain foundational knowledge for laboratory practice and advanced study
