This guide to basic microbiology includes clearly stated objectives, new words with definitions and a study guide with discussion questions and self tests. It also includes insight boxes which cover topics like antibiotic-resistant micro-organisms and flesh-eating strains of streptococcus. Clinical procedures are also detailed which includes new infection control and isolation procedures.

Product Description: The field of virus evolution has developed during the past three decades, from one considered by many to be esoteric and unimportant for human and agricultural health, to a major driver of our thinking about infectious diseases of plants and animals...read more

Product Description: Members of the genus Shigella are responsible for bacillary dysentery and are of global public health importance. Shigella is one of the leading bacterial causes of diarrhoea worldwide, with greatly elevated morbidity and mortality in developing nations and especially among children...read more

A title in the relaunched "Colour Aids" series. The "Colour Guides" retain the half-tone illustrations, the text accompanying facing page and the "white coat pocket" format and the emphasis on a concise, balanced coverage. However, one new feature is the inclusion of an index.

Product Description: Microbial infection is increasingly seen as a problem as we begin to run out of antibiotics. Understanding how microbes cause disease is essential. In recent years it has begun to emerge that bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses can use their cell stress proteins to cause infection...read more

Product Description: Composed of nearly a thousand different types of microorganisms - some beneficial, others not - the human gut microbiota plays an important role in health and disease. This is due to the presence of probiotic or beneficial microbes, or due to the feeding of prebiotics that stimulate the endogenous beneficial microbes (these promote health by stimulating the immune system, improving the digestion and absorption of nutrients, and inhibiting the growth of pathogens)...read more

Product Description: Updated and revised this fourth edition begins with a section on general bacteriology, followed by a brief taxonomic description of medically important bacteria. The main section deals with bacterial diseases, their treatment and prevention.
