Content and format of the items listed herein are copyright 1997-2013 by John Lindquist.
At least the Archived 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 indexed 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/Microbiology 102 course during most semesters over the past two decades.
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 can be inferred from this statement. 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. 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 every attempt is made to keep these pages up to date.
More about the web content and additional commentary about teaching all this great stuff can be found on my home page.

Items listed on this site outline are the authorized and perpetually updated sites and pages that are intended for the web.
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 local power supply.
There exist certain publicly-funded, non-UW .edu sites which copy old editions (circa 2000) of many of these pages without authorization. Improvements and changes in our teaching methods, course content and personal information are not reflected. Links are broken and images are missing. Unfortunately these pages rank high with search engines, but happily the sites are easily detected as just described. Draining the web of its cesspool of piracy and plagiarism is long overdue.

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.
