Microbiology has become an important and interesting field for beginners. While learning the content and concepts of basic microbiology, many questions are asked: How do I learn the names of all these microorganisms? What infection does bacteria, virus or fungus cause and which diseases do they cause? How are these diseases treated? In this book, comprehensive information is presented about the information that a student or an academician interested in the field of microbiology is curious about in the field of microbiology. The basic concepts of General and Molecular Microbiology have been tried to be presented in a clear and concise manner that will appeal to students studying in different health fields and academicians interested in microbiology. The topics are written in a plain language, with uncomplicated explanations for difficult concepts. The topics were summarized through tables and figures rather than a long text, and colorful visuals were included for students. In particular, the important points in the reviews were highlighted in the boxes to help the students, and the study questions were prepared to address the relevant aspects of each subject, including clinical cases, and each section was prepared with current developments and information on microbiology. The book starts with a general introduction to microbiology and continues with chapters where general microbiology issues are discussed in detail. All microorganisms are given individually under sections. The sections on bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are neatly arranged. Each chapter is presented in color to excite those interested in microbiology and engage them while teaching new information. The book will also be useful in the laboratory applications of the subjects that form the basis of microbiology in the faculties of science, education faculties, medical faculties and dentistry faculties.
The first edition of our book, of which we have made the 12th edition, was made in 2003 under the title of "General Microbiology". It includes topics such as the morphology, cell structures, development, reproduction, ecology, hereditary changes, classification of microorganisms and consists of 10 chapters. In the 2 (2007), 3 (2011), 4 (2013), 5 (February 2015), 6 (November 2015) editions of the book, tools and equipment used in the microbiology laboratory, aseptic technique, sterilization, microscope types, staining methods, pure culture techniques Laboratory applications such as , media, counting methods are also included. Thus, the book consisting of 24 chapters was named as “General Microbiology and Laboratory Guide”.
In each renewed edition, new sources on the subject were scanned and important information was added. In the 4th edition made in 2013, no significant changes were made in the subject headings except for the additional titles of the structure and functions of nucleic acids (3.2.8.1.) and general and current summary information about antibiotics (5.5.). However, in the 5th edition, the subsection on the structure-functions of nucleic acids (3.2.8.1.) was taken to the 9th section and the name of this section was changed to "genetics of microorganisms and hereditary change". In the 9th edition, additions were made to the 10th chapter. In the 10th and 11th editions, some grammatical errors were corrected and in the last edition the importance of microbiology was added.
Our aim is to present a book on General Microbiology to the students of the Food Engineering Department of the faculties of Engineering and Agriculture and to the students of other departments studying General Microbiology at Universities. Of course, we will be proud that everyone who is interested in the subject will benefit from our book.
We are happy to be able to make the tenth edition of our book, which is popularly read in the relevant departments of both our universities and vocational schools.

Genetics is the science that studies heredity and heredity in living things. In the science of genetics, besides the classic subjects such as Mendel's Studies, there are also rapidly changing fields, such as in the field of Molecular Genetics. The main thing in a genetics book is to provide the latest information in rapidly changing fields along with classical subjects. In addition, the author should reflect his own views on the book after synthesizing the acquired knowledge. For these reasons, I wanted this book to include not only the topics that I teach my students during limited class hours, but also all the basic topics that should be in a genetics book. That's what I tried to do while writing this book. For this reason, it took many years to write the book, and as a result, this work emerged. I hope that my book will add new richness to the knowledge of the target audience.
Target audience for this book:
• Scientists working in the field of genetics,
• Research assistants working on a postgraduate thesis in the field of genetics and students working on a postgraduate thesis,
• Students of the Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetics Departments of the Faculties of Science and Letters, the Science and Biology Teaching departments of the Faculties of Agriculture, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Faculties, Education Faculties,
• Biology teachers of high schools and science teachers of primary schools and
• People from all walks of life who are interested in genetics.
The fact that the book reaches its goal will make me forget all my tiredness.

In this book, which aims to bring together the secrets of healthy life and related researches of the future in a comprehensive and encyclopedic way, almost all the issues related to the microbiota in the clinic are mentioned. In addition, information on probiotics and the use of probiotics in clinical spectra is presented in their latest updated versions, while different application areas of probiotics and rational nutrition are listed one after the other.
Although the effects of microbiota and probiotics on health and diseases are known, there are still many questions to be answered. Although studies on microbiota have been started in Turkey, infrastructure and standardization problems have not been resolved and there is a need for regulation in many aspects. Because this area has a strategic importance for our country. Although it is changing rapidly, our eating habits are still different from Western countries. Therefore, it is likely that we have a unique intestinal bacterial structure of our own. With the studies to be done on this subject, special diagnosis and treatment methods can be developed for us. The Microbiota, Probiotics and Rational Nutrition book, in which the latest information, experiences and the point reached are discussed by teachers working in different fields of expertise, will also be instrumental in sharing and planning on what can be done in Turkey, who will take part in what way, and how to work.
With the hope and hope that it will be useful to all its readers...

Extraordinary Circumstances (ODD) cause loss of life and property by creating extraordinary results in daily life if preparation is not made. For this reason, it is vital to be prepared for ODDs both before and after. It is imperative to produce solutions with a multidisciplinary approach to developing and dynamic ODDs. For this reason, a systematic approach is important before, during and after ODDs from a Public Health Specialist perspective. The leading ODDs that remain up to date in Türkiye are refugees and migrants who are victims of floods, earthquakes and wars in our country due to our geographical location. In addition to these, many natural and human-induced ODDs such as landslides, transportation accidents and fires are experienced. There is also an absolute need for adequate knowledge for successful intervention in ODDs. Our insufficient level of theoretical knowledge makes things difficult in the already complex disaster area, and even drags the whole operation into chaos.
The Organic Chemistry book, which was mainly prepared to be useful to students in biology-based faculties such as Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, consists of two parts, Basic and Organic Chemistry. The first chapter starts with the structure of atoms, which are the smallest building blocks that show all the qualities of an element, and covers chemical bonds, acids and bases, important physicochemical principles, and thermodynamics with analytical methods.
In the second part, the basic principles of organic chemistry, also defined as C-Chemistry, isomer, biologically important organic substance groups and reactions specific to these groups, monomers such as amino acids and monosaccharides in the structure of living things, polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are important biochemically. molecular structures have been tried to be given briefly and concisely.
It is thought that the book, which tries to emphasize the biological and biochemical importance of the subjects prepared in color so that the changes in the molecular structures during chemical reactions can be seen more clearly and the shapes can be observed more easily, will contribute to the education in the faculties that provide biology-based education and close the gap on this subject.

Medical (clinical) laboratory management has a key position in the healthcare sector in terms of human health, patient safety, quality of community/population life and cost effective healthcare expenditures. Medical/Clinical laboratories (MLs/CLs) are also the data centers of healthcare institutions. Laboratory tests are requested from approximately 80% of individuals admitted to a health institution, and 70-80% of medical decisions are made based on the test results. In addition to providing reliable test results to each individual/patient in a timely and cost-effective manner, information about public health status can also be obtained from laboratory data.
Their success in these responsibilities and duties is directly proportional to their ability to
establish a well-structured risk, quality and process-based system.
In this book: a risk, quality and process-based management model is presented. The book covers the steps of recognizing and introducing the process framework of a medical (clinical) laboratory that is composed of the management and support processes. The total examination process, which is the main core process of an ML/CL, is composed of 5 subprocesses. The steps also include the application of risk and quality management to every process. By following this book, the laboratory professional will be able to define and introduce all the processes of a ML/CL and establish the management system with the process approach. Laboratory professionals will be able to familiarize themselves with each process and create process-oriented risk and quality management systems following the recommended steps. A continuous process improvement system, based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle, will also be established. Hence, the ML/CL will be prepared to meet all the requirements of external assessment programs, including the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Standard, the excellence models such as the EFQM, and the Accreditation Standard ISO 15189:2022 for Medical Laboratories-Requirements for Quality and Competence.". The book is designed to be used as a handbook and consists of 22 chapters. The reader will be able to define the process framework of a medical laboratory and identify its documents according to the document hierarchy.

In this sense, microbiology education with its theoretical and practical applications has become even more important and necessary in training professional technical personnel for the field. The book is planned as a laboratory guide that provides up-to-date practical information without going into any detail to Health Services Vocational Schools Medical Laboratory Technician students and educators, medical school students, medical microbiology graduate-doctorate and medical specialty students, and moreover, to everyone related to medical microbiology.
The field of transfusion microbiology is of particular importance since the use of blood, which is still the only source of human blood, as a life-saving medical product when necessary, concerns all parties and processes in terms of patient safety.
Microbiology has always been intertwined with transfusion medicine from the very beginning. With our current knowledge, viral hepatitis and later HIV have been observed as inevitable and persistent complications of transfusions long after the onset and development of transfusion. For more than four decades, blood centers have struggled with the control of these and other transfusion-transmitted microorganisms. In the years before the routine screening of hepatitis (especially hepatitis C), blood transfusions were accepted as the main mode of transmission of these agents. Subsequent HIV transmission could also be a major transfusion tragedy.
All these have taught us that the process must be managed with serious actions in ensuring blood transfusion safety. Today, even more unpredictable factors have emerged, and it seems that they will continue to emerge and besiege humanity.

One of the most important elements of healthy generations, societies and a healthy future is reproductive health. Our book, which deals with reproductive health problems, tries to show the current situation in reproductive health, sexual health and family planning in the world and in Türkiye by providing comprehensive information to health professionals in dealing with these problems. In addition, the changing society structure and reproductive health have been evaluated in a wide perspective, and we think that it can be an educational, refreshing and inspirational source for health professionals and candidates in determining the sexual health, reproductive health and family planning needs of men, children and risky groups, especially women.
