Introduction to Microbiology (Liu et al.) - Biology LibreTexts
Introduction to Microbiology is an open educational resource (OER) collaboratively created by undergraduate students from City College of San Francisco and the University of Dundee through the OSMA (OpenStax Microbiology Ancillaries) Project. Based on the OpenStax Microbiology textbook, this remix features chunked content, embedded assessments, and clearly stated learning objectives to promote active and inclusive learning. It incorporates equity-focused case studies, interactive elements, and diverse global perspectives to enhance engagement and representation, reflecting our belief that students are both learners and co-creators of knowledge.
The H5P activities embedded into the textbook above are organized in the Microbiology (Liu et al) H5P Question Collection.

OpenStax Microbiology Case Study Collection
This collection features case studies adapted from the Clinical Focus scenarios in the OpenStax Microbiology textbook. Each case has been expanded with thoughtfully crafted questions developed by microbiology instructors and students collaborating through the OSMA Project. These interactive, real-world clinical stories are designed to deepen student understanding of microbial diseases and reinforce key microbiological concepts through application, analysis, and discussion.

Pathogen Portraits is a student- and faculty-created collection of microbiology case studies that explore infectious diseases through the lenses of science, identity, and social context. Inspired by OpenStax Microbiology “Clinical Focus” scenarios and enriched with equity-focused perspectives, each interactive case invites learners to investigate real-world infections while considering how factors like culture, access, and environment shape health outcomes. Co-created by students from City College of San Francisco and the University of Dundee as part of the OSMA (OpenStax Microbiology Ancillaries) Project, this collection supports inclusive, active, and globally relevant microbiology education.
