Edition: 1e

Medical Microbiology is written specifically for those working in the biomedical sciences, whether undergraduate students looking for a concise textbook covering the basic principles of microbiology, or qualified staff looking to keep up-to-date. Uniquely, the structure of the book is based on the flow of specimens through a typical clinical microbiology laboratory. In this way, the book provides an insight into the structure of a working medical microbiology department and so is a valuable reference book for students working within these units while undergoing laboratory training. Section one includes coverage of the history of microbiology, microbial classification and nomenclature, range of organisms studied (including what is common and what is not), pathology of disease and host defences, basic microscopy and general aseptic and culture techniques. Section two covers the isolation of pathogens from the complete range of human specimens; all chapters feature a standard presentation covering specimen collection and transport, principal pathogens, laboratory analysis/diagnosis, and antibiotic susceptibility testing. Section three focuses on the more specialised areas of the diagnosis of viral and fungal infections; the latest molecular techniques are also covered. Medical Microbiology concentrates on practical diagnostics using the latest laboratory methods, with health and safety guidance linked to COSHH and standard operating procedures. The book should therefore be read by all those working, or training to work in a medical microbiology lab.
