Prescott's Principles of Microbiology provides a balanced, comprehensive introduction to all major areas of microbiology. Because of this balance, Prescott's Principles of Microbiology  is appropriate for microbiology majors and mixed majors courses. The authors have focused on readability, artwork, and the integration of several key themes, including evolution, ecology and diversity, throughout the text, making an already superior text even better.
