Designed to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today, The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series combines essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice, demonstrating how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled with the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a biomedical scientist may be exposed, from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science.A new volume in this exciting series, Medical Microbiology examines microbiology from the viewpoint of the biomedical scientist based in a 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 focus on the many branches of medical microbiology--including bacteriology, mycology, and virology--each process is...
