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
