Content and format of the items listed herein are copyright 1997-2008 by John Lindquist.
At least the Bacteriology 102 Site and the Selected General Microbiology Topics will remain on the web in perpetuity – freely accessible as always. Even though the Bact. 102 Site may be technically "archived," the included reference material is updated as necessary. Presentation of the material listed on this site outline is the sole responsibility of the webmaster of the three domains highlighted at the top of the page (J.L.) who has been the coordinator of the Bacteriology 102 course during most semesters through 2006. The Department of Bacteriology does not necessarily recognize or endorse this material and is absolved from any responsibility. More about the web material and additional commentary about teaching Bacteriology 102 can be found on my home page.
All text, photos and explanatory tables (with or without images) are by myself unless credited otherwise. Use of these items on the web is always permitted if credit is given. My general photo policy is explained here. Be careful when reducing image size, as features can be altered considerably (e.g., fractured faces), and of course the photographer always gets the blame. Web browsers should not allowed to reduce larger images to screen size. Reproduction of images, tables and other information currently on-line for use as handouts in educational settings is OK. Reproduction of web pages for inclusion on other websites (.edu or otherwise) is not OK and never necessary. In the original spirit of hypertext, one can simply link to anything here, and these pages are always kept up to date.

Items listed on this site outline are the authorized and perpetually updated sites and pages that are intended for the web.
Note that nearly all of my web efforts are presently on private domains, having been moved from the UW-Madison web servers. Around 2000, these private domains were providing a place to put "mirror sites" for my bacteriology-related web pages, and – as I found these servers to be ultra-secure, reliable and easy to work with – I wound up putting virtually everything there exclusively. These web pages will always remain free and accessible 24/7, and they are immune to hackers and the vagaries of the campus power supply.
Regrettably, one still has to contend with those web pirates (easily recognized as such) that feel free to raid websites (especially on the .edu domains) to add pages created by others to their own .edu sites – causing broken links, missing images, and other alterations that consequently debase the efforts of the original creators. Keep an eye out for them as "their pages" unfortunately tend to rank fairly high with search engines.

Regarding Web Browsers.
Regarding NETSCAPE 4.x and other older browsers: If you are using Netscape 4.x with a PC, and clicking on a link to an image results in no action, press the control key as you click on the link again. For Macintosh users, if clicking on a link to an image results in a "broken image," try holding down the option key as you click on Reload in the pulldown menu. Other browsers (including Netscape 6 and 7) appear to work OK. ALSO, older browsers (such as Netscape 4.x) may not be compatible with HTML codes as presently specified. Note the list here.
