"Quickly learn the microbiology fundamentals you need to know with this practical and manageable text! Newly reorganized to correspond with integrated curricula and changing study habits, Medical Microbiology, 7th edition is clearly written and easy to use, presenting clinically relevant information about microbes and their diseases in a succinct and engaging manner... Learn the most up-to-date and relevant information in medical microbiology. Study efficiently thanks to a reorganized format that places review chapters at the beginning of each section and review questions at the end of each chapter. Focus on clinical relevance with new interactive case presentations to introduce each of the microbial pathogens that illustrate the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases...Visualize the clinical presentations of infections with new and updated clinical photographs, images, and illustrations..."--Back cover
