Knowledge of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites is integral to practice in clinical infectious disease. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePractical Medical Microbiology\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable reference for medical microbiology instructors. Drs. Berkowitz and Jerris are experienced teachers in the fields of  infectious diseases and microbiology respectively, and provide expert insight into microorganisms that affect patients, how organisms are related to each other, and how they are isolated and identified in the microbiology laboratory. The text also is designed to provide clinicians the knowledge they need to facilitate communication with the microbiologist in their laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe text takes a systematic approach to medical microbiology, describing taxonomy of human pathogens and consideration of organisms within specific taxonomic groups. The text tackles main clinical infections caused by different organisms, and supplements these descriptions with clinical case studies, in order to demonstrate the effects of various organisms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003ePractical Medical Microbiology \u003c\/i\u003eis an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and researchers studying clinical microbiology, medical microbiology, infectious diseases, and virology. \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I: Laboratory methods in clinical microbiology 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Microbiology laboratory methods 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection II: Prions and viruses 47\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Prions 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 General virology 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 DNA viruses (excluding hepatitis B virus) 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 RNA viruses (excluding hepatitis viruses, arthropod‐borne viruses, and bat and rodent excreta viruses) 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Hepatitis viruses 99\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Arthropod‐borne viruses (arboviruses), hantaviruses, arenaviruses, and filoviruses 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection III: Bacteriology 121\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Bacteriology 123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Gram‐positive cocci 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Gram‐negative cocci 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Gram‐positive rods 168\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Gram‐negative rods 178\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Anaerobic bacteria 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Mycoplasmas, Chlamydiae, Rickettsiae, and Ehrlichiae 217\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Spirochetes 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Mycobacteria 243\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection IV: Mycology 259\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Fungi 261\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e19 Yeasts 268\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e20 Dimorphic endemic fungi 277\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e21 Molds 289\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection V: Parasitology 303\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e22 Parasitology 305\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e23 Intestinal protozoa 312\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e24 Tissue and blood protozoa 328\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e25 Helminths 358\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e26 Ectoparasites 389\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection VI: Clinical cases 397\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e27 Cases 399\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection VII: Appendices 431\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Taxonomy of infectious agents infecting humans and lists of infectious agents according to their source 433\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 2: Clinical syndromes and their causative organisms 449\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 3: General references and online resources 455\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 457\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eFrank E.
