Product Description

Review
"This book maintains its strong tradition of providing medical students, junior doctors, biomedical scientists and other health care professionals with an up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative account of medical microbiology." "Dr Paul Wright, Consultant Microbiologist, Conquest Hospital, East Sussex," The Royal College of Pathologists, College Bulletin, April 2003
latest edition of Medical Microbiology reaches the high standards set by previous editions and should be a required purchase for all medical and biomedical students. It should, in addition, be of value to all healthcare scientists who seek an authoritative, accessible text in medical microbiology. At the published price, it is excellent value for money." "T Scott," British Journal of Biomedical Science, October 2003

Product Description
The book is divided into six sections such as: Microbial biology; infection and immunity; bacterial pathogens and associated diseases; viral pathogens and associated diseases; fungal pathogens and parasitic infections; and, diagnosis, treatment and control of infection. The major portion gives a organism-based systematic coverage of microbiology. Each organism is considered under a standard set of headings such as: 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just about the write level of detail, 13 Aug 2003

By	addled adder "addled adder" - See all my reviews

A relatively easy-to-read book, it covers all the types of infection you can expect to meet at University, although some do lack a little detail.

The book is split into chapters with each one covering a particular class of pathogen, generally organised by genus (Salmonella, Mycobacterium, Campylobacter, Adenovirus, Helminths etc.) which makes it easier to find extra notes, especially since most courses cover types of infection rather than individual microbes.

My main complaint is that there is a lack of consistency in organisation and content from chapter to chapter (since each chapter is written by a different expert). This can sometimes make it difficult to revise from since you can't necessarily get the answers to the same questions for each bug. However, you can be assured that if the fact you're after isn't in here or in your lecture notes, then it probably isn't worth knowing (or they haven't found it out yet).

A decent textbook for any pathology/pathogenesis based microbiology course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for infectious microbes, 10 Feb 2009

By	KN (Lancs. UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Medical Microbiology: A Guide to Microbial Infections: Pathogenesis, Immunity, Laboratory Diagnosis and Control. With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Paperback)

I recently bought the 17th edition of Medical Microbiology and am very impressed with this book.

It begins with some basics on microbiology (both bacteriology and virology) followed by a concise section on host responses to microbes, and then more detail on different classes of bacteria, viruses, fungal and parasitic infections. This layout, along with a good balance of figures, makes it a very user friendly book.

It serves as an excellent reference point for checking up on different microbes with key-points summarised at the end of each section. However, if you are looking for really in-depth information on a particular infection this probably isn't the book for you.
