Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"Staphylococcus aureus is a common commensal that can cause an array of serious human diseases, from mild skin infection to life-threatening disease. S. aureus can rapidly adapt to selective pressures such as antibiotics, and this ability is enhanced by biofilm formation on implanted medical devices. With antibiotic resistance on the rise, there is a growing need to find non-antibiotic alternatives to treat serious infections. One such alternative is bacteriophage therapy, which introduces viruses that selectively infect and kill bacteria. A recent study sought to better understand the impact of bacteriophage therapy on the host microbiome. In a follow-up to a case study of a patient with an implanted cardiac device who was treated with bacteriophage therapy combined with antibiotics for a persistent S. aureus infection, researchers used high-throughput sequencing to evaluate patient microbial samples from the gut, saliva, and skin..."
