Comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and filled with high quality images, the book covers cell and structure identification in more depth than any other book available. This fully updated 7th Edition is enhanced by new pedagogy, new clinical scenarios, new photos and illustrations, and all-new instructor and student resources.Features:To enhance both the teaching and learning experience, the book is now supported using chapter-by-chapter online resources for instructors and students. This includes an image bank, PowerPoint slides, and Weblinks. A Test Bank is available for instructors.A new-full color design clarifies important concepts and engages students.Updated and expanded coverage of the mycology and molecular chapters reflect the latest advances in the field.New clinical scenarios demonstrate key applications of microbiology in the real world.Additional high quality images enhance visual understanding.Clinical correlations link microorganisms to specific disease states using references to the most current medical literature available.Practical guidelines for cost-effective, clinically relevant evaluation of clinical specimens include extent of workup and abbreviated identification schemes.In-depth chapters cover the increasingly important areas of immunologic and molecular diagnosis.Principles of biochemical tests are explained and illustrated to bridge the gap between theory and practice.Line drawings, photographs, and tables clarify more complex concepts.Display boxes highlight essential information on microbes.Techniques and procedure charts appear at the back of the book for immediate access.Extensive bibliographic documentation allows students to explore primary sources for information. With vivid, color illustrations, this text explores techniques for interpreting macroscopic morphologies and the results of specific diagnostic tests. In one comprehensive volume, it covers all major divisions of diagnostic microbiology: bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and mycology. All areas of critical importance to diagnostic microbiology specimen handling, rapid testing methods, immunological testing, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are explored and illustrated. Additionally, a special introductory section based on OSHA blood-borne pathogen regulations discusses the techniques, clothing and equipment used in the lab. Completely updated and in full color, this 3rd edition covers all the essentials of diagnostic microbiology. A logical building-block approach supplies what students need to know in an easy-to-use, memorable format. Material is presented in a progressive manner, from basic principles and concepts to systematic identification of etiologic agents of infectious diseases, promoting greater understanding and the development of problem-solving skills. Part I of the text explains basic principles and concepts, setting up a firm foundation in microbiology. Building on these basics, Part II highlights methods for the identification of significant isolates. Part III uses an organ system approach to discuss the laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases - with a focus on the most medically significant and commonly encountered diseases.More than 800 full-color illustrations.Hands-on procedures describe laboratory techniques.A case study begins each chapter with a related, real-life situation.All chapters make learning easier with features such as outlines, objectives, key terms, chapter summaries, points to remember, and learning assessment questions.Five new chapters:The Laboratory Role in Infection ControlBiochemical Identification of Gram-Negative BacteriaImmunodiagnosis of Infectious DiseasesAgents of BioterrorBiofilms: Architects of DiseaseAntimicrobial Susceptibility Testing chapter has been expanded to include emerging microbial resistance and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles and applications.Issues to Consider encourages critical thinking and analysis of featured case studies.Glossary of terms serves as a quick reference.New co-editor, Don Lehman, brings years of educational experience.
