Microbiology Research
Here are some references and websites you may find useful while learning Microbiology.
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a peer-reviewed journal published monthly by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It “promotes the recognition of new and reemerging infectious diseases around the world and improves the understanding of factors involved in disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.” This resource is helpful to students majoring in biology, microbiology, or a healthcare profession.

Diseases and Organisms in Healthcare is a catalog of microbial organisms behind common healthcare-associated infections provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, and the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion. This resource is helpful to students majoring in biology, microbiology, or a healthcare profession. (Link Opens in New Window)
The Parasitic Diseases Index is a catalog of parasitic organisms of public health concern provided by the Centers for Disease Control. It was developed and is maintained by CDC’s Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria (DPDM). The Divison of Parasitic Diseases (DPDx) website was created to aid in laboratory identification of parasites and the diagnosis of parasitic diseases. The DPDx A-Z Index can be used to look up a brief summary of biological information, parasite images, suggested laboratory diagnostic procedures and techniques, and resources for more information about the parasite. This resource is helpful to students majoring in biology, microbiology, or a healthcare profession. (Link Opens in New Window)
The Vaccines and Preventable Diseases webpage is a CDC information page listing dangerous or deadly diseases that have a vaccine available to prevent human infection, including the ages at which they should be administered. The page also highlights which vaccines are recommended for U.S. immunizations and non-routine immunizations for people in certain jobs and travel situations. On the page, you may click on a disease name to learn more about the diseases and the vaccines that prevent them. (Link Opens in New Window)
