Microbial evolution, as a book category, covers how bacteria, archaea, viruses and other microbes change over time and the mechanisms driving those changes—mutation, selection, genetic drift, recombination and horizontal gene transfer—and the ways these processes shape genomes, populations and ecosystems. It spans theoretical and empirical work, including phylogenetics, experimental evolution, population genomics, microbial ecology, coevolution with hosts, the emergence of antibiotic resistance and virulence, and the evolutionary roles of mobile elements and plasmids. Books in this category range from technical textbooks and research monographs to lab manuals and accessible popular-science treatments that explain evolutionary concepts and their medical, environmental and biotechnological implications. Ideal for researchers, clinicians, students and informed general readers, the category highlights both fundamental principles and applied topics like pathogen evolution, industrial strain optimization and the evolutionary origins of life.
