Microbiology Demystified

I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Shelley,

and my two babies, Juliana and Thomas,

for their encouragment during the writing of this book

and the continued joy they bring to my life.

Dr. Tom Betsy

This book is dedicated to Anne, Sandy, Joanne,

Amber-Leigh Christine, and Graaf,

without whose help and support

this book could not have been written.
