This new edition of Bailey & Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology solidifies its reputation as the classic text in the field of microbiology.The text clearly and concisely addresses general issues in clinical microbiology,the scientific and laboratory basis for clinical microbiology,diagnosis by organ system,bacteriology,parasitology,mycolgy,and virology.A unique approach to bacteriology arranges organisms by test result,allowing discovery of its identity with the same methodology used in a laboratory.The team of authore includes three respected clinical microbiologists,all of whom have experience both in the classroom and in the clinical laboratory.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES:Three NEW chapters are included:General Considerations and Applications of Information Provided in Bacterial Sections of Part III; Bacterial Identification Flow Charts and Schemes:A Guide to Part III; Sentinel Laboratory Response to Bioterrorism.
A NEW section covers clinical laboratory management; More case studies,with answers in an appendix,help to develop critical thinking skills; More photographs of the major organisms aid in identification; Detailed hands-on procedures describe exactly what takes place in the lab; Genera and Species to Be Considered boxes highlight the organisms to be discussed,including the current name of the species as well as any previous names; A NEW study guide offers a summary of key points,review questions,and additional case studies.Sold separately.
More than 40 years in continuous print!
