You'll love the completely revised and updated fifth edition of this "goldstandard" of microbiology. Learn to identify the microbial agents associated with infectious disease, and understand the basic biochemical and metabolic pathways that serve as the basis for identification, and the microbes that cause disease. A comprehensive overview of microbiology offers confidence by building a solid foundation for further areas of study, including taxonomy, classification, identification, and speciation, and by explaining all major microorganisms and their role as agents in disease. Over 600 illustrations show pathogenic mechanisms, models of antibiotic resistance, life cycles of parasites, and more! What's New: - Easy-to-read charts outline theory, procedures and interpretations of tests.
- Clinical correlation boxes provide quick, easy access to information on signs and symptoms of disease caused by microorganisms.
- Boxes focus on essential information, highlighting its importance.
- A new chapter on bacterial physiology provides the most current information.
- An added second color illustrates key aspects of complicated concepts.

 Excellent diagnostic guide for the clinical microbiologist, January 20, 1999
By A customer

The recent edition of the "Color Atlas" is the standard by which all other comparable works must be judged. The volume should be the standard reference for both laboratory personnel and clinical microbiology educators. Previous reviews to the contrary, charts and figures represent the current state of the art in microbiologic taxonomy and identification methodology. The book is highly recommended for both professional microbiologists and for the interested layperson with a background in biology, chemistry and pathology.

 THE book for clinical microbiology, April 29, 1998
By A customer
|
|
If one is looking for a microbiology text that contains clinically relevant information, diagnostic approaches, and tests need to specify and diagnose an organism, then this is the one book that you need to get. Things like molecular basics in bacteria, viruses, etc are not extensively covered, but the text is clinically oriented. I would recommend this book highly to anyone in the medical/clinical field as well as to clinical pathologists.
