Excellent resource with information on many microorganisms

Provides a solid foundation in the principles of microbiology, preparing you not only for examinations but also for the transition to clinical application. This clearly written, condensed text offers a straightforward, practical introduction to this challenging topic. It provides complete coverage of the most commonly observed organisms and diseases, numerous case studies, review questions, and up-to-date content throughout, including coverage of COVID-19. Features a logical organization by organism, focusing on the association between an organism and disease. Provides over 180 clinical cases to strengthen understanding of infectious organisms in a clinical setting.

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.
