Medical Microbiology provides a balanced, up-to-date, clinically relevant introduction to microbiology. It focuses on the microbes that cause disease in humans, and includes important facts and explanations. Hundreds of color photographs and drawings, summary boxes, and tables reinforce the key points. A consistent chapter format is used to discuss the etiology, epidemiology, host defenses, identification, diagnosis, prevention, and control of all the microbial diseases. These factors combine to create a succinct, focused, attractive, and easy-to-follow textbook that is gaining in popularity with each edition. Organized taxonomically, presenting organism groups and taxonomic subdivisions within each group Approximately 500 full-color illustrations and over 400 tables and summary boxes Chapters are small for easy conceptualization with a consistent format Case studies provide scenarios, followed by a series of questions

The first book of its kind to focus on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of patients with fungal infections, this definitive reference returns in a completely revised, full-color new edition. It presents specific recommendations for understanding, controlling, and preventing fungal infections based upon underlying principles of epidemiology and infection control policy, pathogenesis, immunology, histopathology, and laboratory diagnosis and antifungal therapy. More than 560 photographs, illustrations, and tables depict conditions as they appear in real life and equip you to identify clinical manifestations with accuracy. Expanded therapy content helps you implement the most appropriate treatment quickly, and a bonus CD-ROM―featuring all of the images from the text―enables you to enhance your electronic presentations.

Nueva edición de la obra de referencia en la asignatura de Microbiología que en su 9ª ed, continúa siendo la “biblia y el texto más reputado en esta temática. Aborda los principios básicos de la inmunología, la bacteriología, la virología, la parasitología, así como las pruebas diagnósticas de Laboratorio. En esta nueva edición. se ha seguido con la filosofía de intentar reducir al máximo la información, obviando toda aquella que puede ser redundante, de forma que el libro recoge el “core de la asignatura a la vez que se ha reforzado el alto grado de correlación entre las ciencias básicas y la práctica clínica (incremento del número de casos clínicos). 
A nivel de contenido, se mantiene el índice, si bien se ha producido una fusión de capítulos y ahora la edición impresa cuenta con 77 capítulos. Todos ellos se han actualizado de acuerdo con los últimos avances, destacando fundamentalmente los temas dedicados a las nuevas técnicas que permiten una rápida identificación de los microorganismos o la nueva información acerca de como funciona la inmunidad específica frente a los antígenos. El texto incluye acceso a SC.com (todos los contenidos en inglés) en el que se encuentran importantes novedades. En primer lugar, se incorpora un capítulo solo disponible online “Microbial Connections by Body System and Disease en el que a través de 30 slides se hace una presentación de los diferentes tipos de patógeno en función del órgano o sistema de órganos al que infecten. Así mismo se incluye un banco de 200 preguntas de autoevaluación (“modo estudio o “modo examen), 11 videos de procesos inmunológicos step by step y un microscopio virtual. 
Nueva edición de la obra de referencia en la asignatura de Microbiología que continua siendo la "biblia" y el texto más reputado en esta temática. 
Su amplia cobertura de los principios básicos, el diagnóstico de laboratorio, la bacteriología, la virología, la micología y la parasitología ayuda al lector a dominar los aspectos esenciales de la microbiología, y a preparar de forma eficaz las clases, los exámenes y la práctica futura por lo que es un libro esencial en este complejo campo tan rápidamente cambiante. 
Incluye casos clínicos que ilustran la epidemiología, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de las enfermedades infecciosas. Tambien introduce los capítulos sobre microorganismos con resúmenes y palabras clave para facilitar su revisión. Además destaca los aspectos más importantes del texto con figuras, fotografías clínicas e ilustraciones que ayudan a visualizar la presentación clínica de las infecciones. 
Presenta nueva información sobre el microbioma humano y su influencia en el sistema inmunitario y otros sistemas corporales, así como los más recientes avances en el diagnóstico, el tratamiento, asi como, de las enfermedades y los patógenos que las causan. 
Incluye la versión electrónica del libro, que permite acceder al texto completo, las figuras y las referencias bibliográficas desde diversos dispositivos. Además, la plataforma proporcional recursos de estudio en línea adicionales, con 200 preguntas de autoevaluación; casos clínicos resueltos; preguntas de repaso que correlacionan la ciencia básica con la práctica clínica; imágenes microscópicas de los microorganismos; animaciones en vídeo, y tablas resumen de las patologías por sistemas de órganos que incluyen hipervínculos entre los patógenos causantes y los órganos a los que afectan y las patologías causadas. Este último punto especialmente interesante para aquellos que estudien la asignatura desde un abordaje por órganos/sistemas o por patologías. Todos los recursos electrónicos se ofrecen en inglés.
