Microbiology Resources

Web Textbooks / Handbooks:

•  Jawetz, Melnick, & Adelberg's Medical Microbiology
   
• Foodborne Pathogenic Microorganisms and Natural Toxins Handbook
  (USDA, CDC, FDA)
  • This handbook provides basic facts regarding foodborne pathogenic microorganisms and natural toxins. It brings together in one place information from the Food & Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service, and the National Institutes of Health.

NCBI Entrez  (National Center for Biotechnology Information)

• Entrez Nucleotide
  • The Entrez Nucleotides database is a collection of sequences from several sources, including GenBank(An annotated collection of all publicly available nucleotide and amino acid sequences), RefSeq (A database of non-redundant reference sequences standards, including genomic DNA contigs, mRNAs, and proteins for known genes.), and PDB (Protein Database). The number of bases grows at an exponential rate. As of April 2004, there are over 38,989,342,565 bases.
• Entrez Genome
  • The whole genomes of over 1000 viruses and over 100 microbes can be found in Entrez Genome. The genomes represent both completely sequenced organisms and those for which sequencing is in progress. All three main domains of life - bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota - are represented, as well as many viruses and organelles.
• Entrez Stucture
  • The Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB) contains 3D macromolecular structures, including proteins and polynucleotides. MMDB contains over 28,000 structures and is linked to the rest of the NCBI databases, including sequences, bibliographic citations, taxonomic classifications, and sequence and structure neighbors.
• Entrez Taxonomy / Taxonomy Browser
  • The NCBI taxonomy database contains the names of all organisms that are represented in the genetic databases with at least one nucleotide or protein sequence.
