Develop your students’ lab skills with the essential text for diagnostic microbiology! Bailey & Scott’s Diagnostic Microbiology, 15th Edition Is known as the preeminent text for students in clinical laboratory science programs and the #1 bench reference for practicing microbiologists. With hundreds of full-color illustrations and step-by-step methods for procedures, this text provides a solid, basic understanding of diagnostic microbiology and also covers more advanced techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Supported with case studies and an online lab manual on Evolve, Diagnostic Microbiology has everything your students need to get accurate test results in class and in clinical practice,
-
- New! Updated content includes infectious disease trends and new illustrations such as culture plate images of real specimens, complex gram stains, lactophenol cotton blue microscopy, and more.
- NEW COVID-19 information has been added.
- Expanded sections on parasitology, mycology, and virology allow you to use just one book, eliminating the need for students to purchase other microbiology textbooks on these topics.
- Hands-on procedures show students exactly what takes place in the lab, including step-by-step methods, photos, and expected results.
- Genera and Species boxes provide handy, at-a-glance summaries at the beginning of each organism chapter.
- UPDATED topics include the Human Microbiome Project, expanded MALDI-TOF applications and molecular diagnostics in conjunction with traditional microbiology, additional streps, and significant news in mycology.
- UPDATED instructor lab manual and additional test bank questions are included on the Evolve companion website.
