Couverture de l’ouvrage Essentials of Medical Microbiology

The new edition of this comprehensive guide provides students with the latest information and advances in medical microbiology.

Divided into seven sections, the book begins with discussion on general microbiology, followed by immunology, systematic bacteriology, virology and mycology.

The second edition has been fully revised and features two new sections covering hospital acquired infections and clinical microbiology.

The extensive text is further enhanced by more than 600 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables.

The book concludes with annexures on emerging and re-emerging infections, bioterrorism, laboratory acquired infections, and zoonosis (the transmission of disease between humans and animals).
