Overview

Medical Microbiology examines microbiology from the viewpoint of the biomedical scientist based in a microbiology laboratory. Adopting a holistic approach to the study of pathogens and their isolation and identification, it explains the basis of key laboratory techniques, as well as the scientific theory that underpins them. With a lens on the many branches of medical microbiology - including bacteriology, mycology, and virology - each process is covered in sufficient detail to ensure the reader understands how and why a result is generated, and the pitfalls of the processes involved.
