Synopsis:
No other text clarifies the link between microbiology and human disease states like Sherris Medical Microbiology For more than a quarter-of-a-century Sherris has been unmatched in its ability to help readers understand the nature of microorganisms and their role in the maintenance of health or causation of disease. Through a dynamic, engaging approach, this classic text gives students a solid grasp of the significance of etiologic agents, the pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the basis of therapy for infectious diseases. An introduction to diseases caused by infectious agents and to the basics of the character of infectious agents begins the book. This is followed by several chapters that describe the immune reaction to these infectious agents, sterilization, control of infections with anti-infective drugs, and how they are detected in a diagnostic laboratory. These chapters set the stage for the rest of the book, which describes the various infectious agents that cause disease in humans. Starting with viruses and moving through to bacteria, fungi, and parasites, these chapters describe how the agents cause disease and how the infections are detected and treated.
