Provide your students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the clinical lab! Mahon and Lehman's Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology, 8th Edition, uses a reader-friendly "building-block" approach to help you learn the principles of diagnostic microbiology. Featuring full-color drawings and photos, this text helps students learn to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed to accurately detect and identify infectious agents and to diagnose infectious diseases. This edition adds updated case studies and learning assessment questions in each chapter to help students measure their comprehension.
    • NEW! Updated Learning Assessment Questions at the end of each chapter help you to think critically and to evaluate how well you have mastered the material
    • NEW! Updated case studies and learning objectives reflect new chapter material
    • NEW! Updated Learning Assessment Questions at the end of each chapter help students to think critically and to evaluate how well they have mastered the material
    • NEW! Updated case studies and learning objectives reflect new chapter material
    • Building-block approach encourages students to use previously learned information in mastering new material
    • Full-color photographs and photomicrographs make it easier to understand and apply diagnostic microbiology concepts
    • Case studies and Case in Point features describe clinical and laboratory findings, offering opportunities to correlate observations with possible etiologic agents and to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills
    • Case Checks in each chapter reinforce student understanding of concepts and how they are applied within case studies
    • Learning Objectives at the beginning of each chapter supply measurable learning outcomes to achieve by completing the material
    • Bolded key terms with abbreviations are listed at the beginning of each chapter, showing the most important and relevant terms in each chapter
    • Issues to Consider boxes list important points to think about while reading the chapter
    • Points to Remember sections at the end of each chapter provide a bulleted list of key concepts
    • Hands-on procedures in the appendices describe techniques used in the lab setting
    • Glossary provides a quick reference for looking up the definitions of key terms
