Medical Microbiology: A Guide to Microbial Infections: Pathogenesis, Immunity, Laboratory Diagnosis and Control, 15e

The book is divided into six sections, with the bulk of the text giving an organism-based systematic coverage of microbiology. Each organism is considered under a standard set of headings: description/pathogenesis/clinical features/laboratory diagnosis/treatment/epidemiology. Immunology is covered where it is of direct relevance to the understanding of microbial infection. The book has been fully updated to keep upwith this rapidly changing subject; for example, in relation to viruses (such as HIV), antiviral drugs, and immunology.
