Anthony, Shears Paul. Color Atlas of Medical Microbiology

Elsevier, 2004. — 698 p. The book is divided into six main sections. The color-coded reference guide on the first page will help you find what you need. The aspects of each pathogen are covered systematically, using the following order wherever practicable: Classification Pathogenesis and Clinical Picture Localization Diagnosis Morphology and Culturing Therapy Developmental Cycle Epidemiology and Prophylaxis The book is structured with classroom learning in mind.While medical and hygienic developments have driven down the mortality rates of infectious diseases, pathogenic microorganisms are still a major factor in everyday clinical practice. They are still the most frequent cause of death in Third World countries. New and incurable infectious diseases are a worldwide problem. It is inescapable, therefore, that modern medicine must redouble its efforts to understand the relationship between microorganisms and humans and continue to lead the search for new therapies.The following five subject areas are covered: Immunology, Bacteriology, Mycology, Virology, Parasitology. This book provides a clearly focused and richly detailed review of the entire field of medical microbiology. It is both a textbook for students of medicine and dentistry and a useful companion for medical technicians and laboratory assistants, both at school and in the laboratory. It will also serve as a handy work of reference for clinical practitioners. The book is structured with teachability in mind: The many color illustrations and microscopic images render complex themes readily accessible. Summaries at the beginning of every chapter, a color-coded reference guide and detailed diagnostic tables make this an excellent sourcebook for rapid learning and quick reference. A list of important internet addresses in the appendix will help the book's users keep abreast of cutting-edge research.

They Are Still The Most Frequent Cause Of Death In Third World Countries. New And Incurable Infectious Diseases Are A Worldwide Problem. It Is, Therefore, Necessary For Modern Medicine To Double Its Efforts To Understand The Relationship Between Microorganisms And Humans And Continue To Lead The Search For New Therapies.
