Riassunto:

**Selected for 2025 Doody’s Core Titles® in Infectious Disease**

Offering more in-depth coverage of epidemiology, etiology, pathology, microbiology, immunology, and treatment of infectious agents than any other infectious disease resource, Mandell, Douglas, and Bennett's Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases, 10th Edition, remains your #1 choice for authoritative, comprehensive information in this challenging field. Meticulously updated by a new editorial team led by Drs. Martin J. Blaser, Jeffrey I. Cohen, and Steven M. Holland, this two-volume masterwork brings together the knowledge and expertise of more than 650 contributing authors who are outstanding scholars and experts in their fields. For ID specialists and general practitioners alike, PPID provides a balanced, detailed perspective for any patient you encounter with a complex or difficult-to-treat infectious disease. Encyclopedic in its depth, contents, and referencing, PPID-10 is the one infectious disease book that needs to be on every practitioner’s shelf and in every medical library.

• Organizes content both by individual pathogens and by important clinical syndromes, broadening the context to clearly present relevant, complex clinical information.
• Contains multiple new chapters on both SARS-CoV-2 and anti-fungal therapy, as well as new chapters on bacteriophages and related agents, infections following traumatic injuries, communication to the public about infectious diseases, and the effects of climate change on infectious diseases.
• Provides up-to-date coverage of recent advances in the field: an increasing understanding of the agents, immune responses, and the growing armamentarium of diagnostics (such as nucleic acid amplification and next-generation sequencing); new treatments (such as monoclonal antibodies, new antifungals, antivirals, and phage therapy); and emerging preventive measures (such as new vaccines being developed for RSV), and our relationship with the human microbiome.
• Features more than 1,500 high-quality, full-color photographs?with many new to this edition.

Informazioni sull?autore: Martin J. Blaser is the Henry Rutgers Chair of the Human Microbiome at Rutgers University, where he also holds professorships in Medicine and Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, and directs the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine. Prior to this, he was Chair of the Department of Medicine at New York University. As both a physician and microbiologist, Dr. Blaser has dedicated over three decades to exploring the complex relationships between humans and their long-term bacterial colonizers. His research initially centered on Campylobacter species and Helicobacter pylori, which serve as key models for studying host-microbe interactions. In the past 20 years, his focus has expanded to investigating how the human microbiome influences health and contributes to diseases such as asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, neurological disorders, and cancer. Dr. Blaser has mentored numerous students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty members throughout his career. He holds 28 U.S. patents and has published more than 600 original scientific articles. Additionally, he is the author of the widely acclaimed book Missing Microbes, aimed at general readers and translated into 20 languages.
