MANUAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY

As the field of clinical microbiology continues to change, the ninth edition of the Manual of Clinical Microbiology has been revised and rewritten to incorporate the most current clinical and laboratory information. In two volumes, 11 sections, and 152 chapters, it offers accessible and authoritative descriptions of important diseases, laboratory diagnosis, and therapeutic testing of all clinically significant bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. New to the ninth edition of the Manual are: one new volume editor and seven new section editors; nearly 4,000 literature citations for works that were published since the previous edition; a completely revised virology section; a companion CD of the illustrations from the book.
