Opis: Medical Microbiology - John F. Peutherer, Richard C.B. Slack, David Greenwood

The book is divided into six sections such as: Microbial biology; infection and immunity; bacterial pathogens and associated diseases; viral pathogens and associated diseases; fungal pathogens and parasitic infections; and, diagnosis, treatment and control of infection. The major portion gives a organism-based systematic coverage of microbiology. Each organism is considered under a standard set of headings such as: description; pathogenesis; clinical features; laboratory diagnosis; treatment; and, Epidemiology. The section on immunology covers that part of the subject that is of direct relevance to the understanding of microbial infection. "This book maintains its strong tradition of providing medical students, junior doctors, biomedical scientists and other health care professionals with an up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative account of medical microbiology." "Dr Paul Wright, Consultant Microbiologist, Conquest Hospital, East Sussex", The Royal College of Pathologists, College Bulletin, April 2003
latest edition of Medical Microbiology reaches the high standards set by previous editions and should be a required purchase for all medical and biomedical students. It should, in addition, be of value to all healthcare scientists who seek an authoritative, accessible text in medical microbiology. At the published price, it is excellent value for money."
