About the Book

Medical Microbiology by Patrick R. Murray, Ken S. Rosenthal, and Michael A. Pfaller has been the foremost text in this complex and fast-changing field since its first edition in 1990. Over more than three decades and ten editions, the book has consistently tracked the discovery of new pathogens and diseases while keeping its hallmark quality intact: concise, up-to-date, and genuinely understandable explanations of medical microbiology, immunology, and the microbes that cause human disease.

The current edition delivers clear, engaging coverage of basic principles, immunology, laboratory diagnosis, bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology, helping students master the essentials of microbiology and preparing them effectively for coursework, exams, and clinical practice beyond. This edition introduces an entirely new section — Infectious Diseases by Organ Systems — consisting of eight chapters that provide concise summaries of diseases and the microbes responsible for them. The authors consider this section unique among microbiology and infectious disease textbooks, offering a critical link between the science of microbiology, infectious disease, and clinical diagnostics that most texts leave students to piece together on their own. The edition is a complete update throughout, incorporating new technologies, molecular microbiology, taxonomic updates, and emerging pathogens, along with expanded coverage of immunology and virology reflecting how rapidly these fields continue to evolve. Detailed information is consistently summarized in tabular format rather than lengthy text, and each chapter closes with review questions that correlate basic science directly with clinical practice.
