Brief lessons in microbiologyfrom the origin of life to artificial intelligence /[electronic resource] :by Mario Juhas. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xv, 160 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: The world of microorganisms -- Chapter 2: The dawn of microbiology -- Chapter 3: Communication between microorganisms -- Chapter 4: Microbial communities -- Chapter 5: Gene transfer -- Chapter 6: Multidrug resistant bacteria -- Chapter 7: Synthetic biology in microbiology -- Chapter 8: Artificial intelligence in microbiology -- Chapter 9: Emerging and zoonotic diseases -- Chapter 10: COVID-19 -- Chapter 11: Future pandemics -- Chapter 12: Into a brighter future.

Recent discoveries in microbiology are hard to grasp for those unfamiliar with scientific jargon, and the research data can be overwhelming even for those working in other scientific fields. This book aims to remedy this situation by presenting the most interesting findings and current trends in microbiology in an easy-to-read and understandable format. The first part tells the story of the beginnings of microbiology itself and introduces the reader to the founders of this fascinating research discipline. The second part focuses on communication between microorganisms and how they organize themselves into fascinating microbial cities called "biofilms". The reader also learns how bacteria exchange genetic material - mechanisms that are the root of the emergence of multidrug-resistant superbugs, pathogens that pose a major burden to human health and our healthcare systems. The third part is devoted to the latest techniques being used by scientists to study, control, and manipulate microorganisms for our benefit. The final part links the first three parts together and highlights how infectious diseases, including coronaviruses, can be transmitted from animals to humans, how global warming is affecting emerging diseases, and provides information on the actions that need to be taken to get ahead of pathogenic microbes and future pandemics. This comprehensive, state-of-the-art book is intended for anyone interested in microbiology and epidemiology, from biology and biomedical students in schools and colleges, to patients suffering from infectious diseases who want to learn more about their condition. The concepts covered in this book contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Health and Well-Being.
