Excellent resource with information on many microorganisms

Provides students with a thorough understanding of microbial agents and the pathophysiology of microbial diseases.

Provides a comprehensive reference guide to micro-organisms and the resulting infectious diseases.

"A Concise Manual of Pathogenic Microbiology is a quick and concise source of information on the causal agents of common infectious diseases. Divided into chapters based on broad taxonomic groupings or similarities between the causal agents, A Concise Manual of Pathogenic Microbiology lists important pathogenic taxa in each group, their natural habitats, the diseases they cause, microbiological highlights, laboratory diagnosis, and measures of prevention and control, including availability of vaccines and effective therapeutic agents"

The text takes a systematic approach to medical microbiology, describing taxonomy of human pathogens and consideration of organisms within specific taxonomic groups. The text tackles main clinical infections caused by different organisms, and supplements these descriptions with clinical case studies, in order to demonstrate the effects of various organisms.
Practical Medical Microbiology is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and researchers studying clinical microbiology, medical microbiology, infectious diseases, and virology.
