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.
