This title is presented now with access to full text online plus many other extras - posted on our associated website. Access is via unique pin number in front of book. Medical Microbiology has been improved and updated to keep it at the forefront of microbiological teaching practice. The clinically relevant, systems-based approach has been retained so as to emphasise the microbiology of the agents causing disease and the diseases affecting individual organ systems. Over 250 color diagrams explain difficult concepts while color clinical photographs appear alongside the microbiology, stressing the clinical relevance of the science. This book opens with an expanded basic introduction to viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Then the immunology of the host is considered (again in more detail than in previous editions) before looking at the complex conflicts between host and invading agent. The clinical manifestations of these conflicts are explored within a systems-based context before concluding with a re-organised survey of microbiological diagnosis and control. Throughout, attractive design features are used to highlight core information and make study and review that bit easier: Chapter Introductions, Key Facts Boxes, Case-based Review Questions, New Microbiology Lessons and Summary Headings throughout make "Medical Microbiology" a pleasure to read.

A must have book for anyone studying Medical Microbiology!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 October 2011Verified Purchase
This book was very informative and beautifully written in a clear English. I studied BSc Biomedical Science and it aided me through second and third year of University.
It provides useful references. Plenty of images and guided diagrams to illustrate constructive points.
