Descripotion

A well-developed knowledge of clinical microbiology is
critical for the practicing physician in any medical field.
Bacteria, viruses, and protozoans have no respect for
the distinction between ophthalmology, pediatrics,
trauma surgery, or geriatric medicine. As a physician
you will be faced daily with the concepts of microbial
disease and antimicrobial therapy. Microbiology is one
of the few courses where much of the "minutia" is regularly
used by the practicing physician.
This book attempts to facilitate the learning of microbiology
by presenting the information in a clear and
entertaining manner brimming with memory aids.
Our approach has been to:

1) Write in a conversational style for rapid assimilation.
2) Include numerous figures serving as "visual memory
tools" and summary charts at the end of each chapter.
These can be used for "cram sessions" after the
concepts have been studied in the text.
3) Concentrate more on clinical and infectious disease
issues that are both interesting and vital to the actual
practice of medicine.

4) Create a conceptual, organized approach to the organisms

studied so the student relies less on memory

and more on logical pathophysiology.

The text has been updated to include current information

on rapidly developing topics, such as HIV and

AIDS (vaccine efforts and all the new anti-HIV medications),

Ebola virus, Hantavirus, E. coli outbreaks, Mad

Cow Disease, and brand-new antimicrobial antibiotics.

The mnemonics and cartoons in this book do not intend

disrespect for any particular patient population or

racial or ethnic group but are solely presented as memory

devices to assist in the learning of a complex and important

medical subject.

We welcome suggestions for future editions.
