About the Book

Greenwood Medical Microbiology, edited by Michael R. Barer, concerns the nature, distribution, and activities of microbes and their impact on health and wellbeing. Despite the introduction of many antimicrobial agents and immunizations, medicine continues to face major challenges in combating infection — not least the gathering crisis in antimicrobial resistance — and this text is built to prepare students and professionals to meet that challenge with a clear, current understanding of microbial disease.

Now in a fully revised and updated nineteenth edition, the book provides comprehensive coverage of infection from the microbial perspective, combining a clear introduction to key principles with a focus explicitly geared to modern clinical practice. 'Key Points' boxes run throughout to highlight the essentials, making the book ideal coverage for medical and biomedical students while still offering sufficient depth to inform specialists in training. Building on the strength of previous editions, this edition adds new and expanded coverage of hot topics increasingly important to clinical practice, including genomics, the human microbiome, and direct molecular diagnostic techniques. The book comes with a new and improved downloadable eBook via StudentConsult, giving readers anytime access to the complete contents plus bonus interactive learning materials — including clinical cases that show how patients with infections actually present, helping connect key principles directly to practice, and chapter-by-chapter MCQs to check understanding and support exam preparation.
