| Summary: | Microbiology offers the brevity and user-friendliness that your busy schedule demands while still providing you with sufficient depth in coverage of both basic and clinical microbiology; equips you to meet the demands of a microbiology course, efficiently prepare for certification examinations, or simply update your knowledge; provides a solid background in basic science, focusing on the molecular processes responsible for various microbial diseases; uses a practical approach that enables you to envision the course of infectious disease within a patient's body; presents each pathogen using a consistent outline format - beginning with its general features and mechanisms of pathogenicity and then progressing through the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of its associated diseases; covers all medically significant organisms - including pathogens that are not prevalent in the United States - to provide a knowledge base that is appropriate for a broad range of clinical settings; and features a wealth of tables and two-color, clearly drawn illustrations to make complex microbiology concepts easier to understand. |
