Diagnostic Microbiology and Virology

Description

Diagnostic microbiology is the study of microbial identification.Since the discovery of the germ theory of disease, scientists have been finding ways to harvest specific organisms. Using methods such as differentialmedia or genome sequencing,physicians and scientists can observe novel functions in organisms for more effective and accurate diagnosis of organisms. This edition contains most valuable and helpful information for easy identification of different microorganisms. Number of standard techniques of various microbiological tests, staining procedures and media preparation with their quality control is enhanced in this book. It also contains figures, tables and illustrations. It is especially designed for the medical undergraduate students and students of degree and diploma in medicallaboratory technology.Teachers and healthcare workers willalso findit useful.This text offers a digestible view of the breadth and depth of information related to diagnostic microbiology and virology, providing a practical, working knowledge of the wide array of microbes that cause disease in animals and humans.It also helps to learn develop the problem-solving skills necessary for success in the clinical setting.This book uses a reader-friendly "building-block" approach to the essentials of diagnostic microbiology. It presents information in an easy-to-understand, accessible manner for students at every level. Contents: 1. Study of Microorganisms, 2. Bacteria and Parasites, 3. Control of Infectious Diseases, 4.
