Now in full colour, this new edition of the bestselling Medical Microbiology covers:

• Microbial biology
• Infection and immunity
• Bacterial pathogens and associated diseases
• Viral pathogens and associated diseases
• Fungal pathogens and parasitic infections
• Diagnosis, treatment and control of infection

The major portion gives an organism-based systematic coverage of microbiology. Each organism is considered under a standard set of headings: Description, Pathogenesis, Clinical features, Laboratory diagnosis, Treatment, and Epidemiology. The section on immunology covers that part of the subject that is of direct relevance to the understanding of microbial infection.
