Introduction to Diagnostic Microbiology

Based on the author's widely used and highly respected "Colour Atlas and Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology", this is an introductory book specifically designed for use in shorter diagnostic microbiology courses. This micro text specifically covers the areas addressed in the laboratory including basic information on collection techniques, examining and identifying specimens, and quality assurance and lab safety. This hands-on reference is ideal for the lab - packaged identification systems and other tools are explained - and as an exam review.
