Microbiology A Doody's Core Title for 2011! 4 STAR
DOODY'S REVIEW! "This will continue to be a popular
textbook, primarily due to the well-designed figures and
pictures in all chapters. It is one of the better
textbooks I have seen for teaching the basics of medical
microbiology."--Doody's Review Service For more than a
quarter-of-a-century Sherris has been unmatched in its
ability to help you understand the nature of
microorganisms and their role in the maintenance of
health or causation of disease. Through a dynamic,
engaging approach, this classic text gives you a solid
grasp of the significance of etiologic agents, the
pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the basis of
therapy for infectious diseases. The fifth edition has
been completely revised to reflect this rapidly-moving
field’s latest developments and includes a host of
learning aids including clinical cases, USMLE-type
questions, marginal notes, and extensive new full-color
art. Features 66 chapters that simply and clearly
describe the strains of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
parasites that can bring about infectious diseases Core
sections on viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic
diseases open with new chapters detailing basic biology,
pathogenesis, and antimicrobial agents and feature a
consistent presentation covering Organism (structure,
replication, genetics, etc.), Disease (epidemiology,
pathogenesis, immunity), and Clinical Aspects
(manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, prevention)
Explanations of host-parasite relationship, dynamics of
infection, and host response USMLE-style questions and a
clinical case conclude each chapter on the major viral,
bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases All tables,
photographs, and illustrations are now in full color
Clinical Capsules cover the essence of the disease(s)
caused by major pathogens Marginal Notes highlight key
points within a paragraph to facilitate review |
