Riassunto

Medical Microbiology provides a balanced, up-to-date, clinically relevant introduction to microbiology. Only the microbes that cause disease in humans are discussed, and only the important facts and explanations are included. Hundreds of colour photographs and drawings, summary boxes, and tables reinforce the key points. A consistent chapter format is used to discuss the etiology, epidemiology, host defenses, identification, diagnosis, prevention, and control of all the microbial diseases. These factors combine to create a succinct, focused, attractive, and easy-to-follow textbook that is gaining in popularity with each edition. This is the only full-colour medical microbiology book organised along the taxonomic approach.
