Designed for associate-degree MLT/CLT programs and baccalaureate MT/CLS programs, this textbook presents the essentials of clinical microbiology. It provides balanced coverage of specific groups of microorganisms and the work-up of clinical specimens by organ system, and also discusses the role of the microbiology laboratory in regard to emerging infections, healthcare epidemiology, and bioterrorism. Clinical case studies and self-assessment questions show how to incorporate the information into everyday practice.More than 400 illustrations and visual information displays enhance the text. Essentials boxes, chapter outlines, key terms, summaries, and other study aids help students retain information.A bound-in CD-ROM includes additional review questions, case studies, and Web links. This text aims to provide the reader with a logical building block approach to microbiology. Divided into two major sections, the text first discusses the basic principles, the different micro-organisms, how they are characterized, and tests utilized to identify them. The second section details organ systems with emphasis on normal flora, anatomical characteristics, infectious diseases and causative agents. Also included are chapters on gram stain and colonial morphology. All topics are illustrated. A laboratory workbook and slide set are also available. This Study Guide and Laboratory Manual is designed to accompany Essentials of Diagnostic Microbiology. It is subdivided into Part I Study Guide and Part II Laboratory Manual. Together, these parts will help you learn and reinforce your knowledge of diagnostic microbiology. 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.
