Develop your students’ lab skills with the essential text for diagnostic microbiology! Bailey & Scott’s Diagnostic Microbiology, 16th 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 covers more advanced techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Supported with case studies and an online laboratory manual on the Evolve companion website, Diagnostic Microbiology has everything your students need to get accurate test results in class and in clinical practice.
-
- NEW! Expanded molecular content enhances each specific organism area.
- NEW! Revised life cycle illustrations clarify and reinforce important components.
- More than 800 high-quality, full-color illustrations help students visualize key concepts.
- Expanded sections on parasitology, mycology, and virology allow you to use just one book, eliminating the need for students to purchase other microbiology textbooks for these topics.
- Case studies and step-by-step procedures in the ebook version (sold separately) and on the Evolve companion website allow students to see what takes place in the lab and to apply their knowledge to diagnostic scenarios.
- Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter provide measurable outcomes to achieve by completing the chapter material.
- Review questions at the end of each chapter in the ebook version (sold separately) and on the Evolve companion website help students apply and assess the knowledge they’ve learned.
- Genera and Species boxes provide handy, at-a-glance summaries at the beginning of each organism chapter.
- A glossary defines terms at the back of the book.
