Editorial Reviews for Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology
|
Completely updated and in full color, this 3rd edition covers all the essentials of diagnostic microbiology. A logical building-block approach supplies what students need to know in an easy-to-use, memorable format. Material is presented in a progressive manner, from basic principles and concepts to systematic identification of etiologic agents of infectious diseases, promoting greater understanding and the development of problem-solving skills. Part I of the text explains basic principles and concepts, setting up a firm foundation in microbiology. Building on these basics, Part II highlights methods for the identification of significant isolates. Part III uses an organ system approach to discuss the laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases - with a focus on the most medically significant and commonly encountered diseases.
- More than 800 full-color illustrations.
- Hands-on procedures describe laboratory techniques.
- A case study begins each chapter with a related, real-life situation.
- All chapters make learning easier with features such as outlines, objectives, key terms, chapter summaries, points to remember, and learning assessment questions.
- Five new chapters:
- The Laboratory Role in Infection Control
- Biochemical Identification of Gram-Negative Bacteria
- Immunodiagnosis of Infectious Diseases
- Agents of Bioterror
- Biofilms: Architects of Disease
- Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing chapter has been expanded to include emerging microbial resistance and pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles and applications.

Summary: Practical text book for diagnostic microbiology
Comment: I really think this is a great book. I am a medical doctor who wants to finish her specialisation in virology, microbiology and environmental hygiene. This book really covers the practical techniques to identify different microorganisms. You finally understand which steps are taken, the flow-charts are excellent. I have not found a similar book in the German literature.

Summary: Up-to-date micro for the MLT student
Comment: The hospital where my wife is doing MLT clinicals had this book. She was so impressed with it, she wanted one of her own. It is up-to-date with many color and B/W pictures of the most recent micro technologies and procedures. East to read and understand.

Summary: The book that you want
Comment: Although this book is not as comprehensive as Manual of clinical microbiology edited by Murray, it is an excellent textbook for the beginner in the field of microbiology. The color photographies are in good quality and numerous, which are wonderful tools for the readers. In general, I recommand this book should be buy by any one who has interest in the microbiology.

Summary: Mahon and Manuselis - the best of both worlds
Comment: I was so pleased to find the second edition of Mahon and Manuselis because it addresses weaknesses of other texts we have used recently with senior level clinical laboratory science students. M & M find a good balance between an organism oriented approach and a body site/culture type orientation. We found the 10th ed of Bailey and Scott's text to be strong in the latter but not the former while Koneman is the reverse, and far too research oriented for this level of student. The book reads well; illustrations and photos are terrific. I'm a stickler for a good index and this one is great! From an educator's perspective it has all the essentials: objectives, practice questions with answers, chapter outlines, and case studies that add a nice clinical touch. It is inviting to read by use of color and organization. I have adopted it for next year and can't wait for our students' reactions.
