Description
Since the publication of the last edition of Principles andPractice of Clinical Bacteriology, our understanding ofbacterial genetics and pathogenicity has been transformed due tothe availability of whole genome sequences and new technologiessuch as proteomics and transcriptomics. The present, completelyrevised second edition of this greatly valued work has beendeveloped to integrate this new knowledge in a clinically relevantmanner.
Principles and Practice of Clinical Bacteriology, SecondEdition, provides the reader with invaluable information onthe parasitology, pathogenesis, epidemiology and treatmentstrategies for each pathogen while offering a succinct outline ofthe best current methods for diagnosis of human bacterialdiseases.
With contributions from an international team of experts in thefield, this book is an invaluable reference work for all clinicalmicrobiologists, infectious disease physicians, public healthphysicians and trainees within these disciplines.
