This practical guide eases you into this field of science, starting at the cell level. As you progress, you will master microbiology essentials such as bacteria, algae, viruses, pasteurization, and more. You will understand the difference between friendly and unfriendly microorganisms as well as the microscope's role in shaping microbiology. Detailed examples make it easy to understand the material, and end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam help reinforce key ideas.
Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Microbiology Demystified. Second Edition, helps you master this essential subject.
Several large dsDNA-containing viruses such as poxviruses (smallpox) and herpes viruses are well known among the scientific community, as well as the general populace, because they cause human diseases. The large dsDNA insect-infecting baculoviruses are also well known in the scientific community because they are used both as biological control agents and as protein expression systems. However, there are other large dsDNA-containing viruses, including the giant 1.2 Mb mimivirus, which are less well known despite the fact that all of them play important roles in every day life. Seven of these virus families are reviewed in this book.

The collaborative efforts of over 140 experienced clinical microbiologists, laboratory supervisors, and laboratory technologists are included in the new edition of the "Clinical Microbiology Procedures Handbook". This well-respected reference continues to serve as the sole major publication providing step-by-step descriptions that enable clinical microbiologists and their staffs to perform all analyses and their control from the receipt of the specimen to the final report. In responses to the ever-changing needs and responsibilities of the clinical microbiology community, three brand-new sections have been added, covering procedures for coding and reimbursement, specimen collection and transport, and bioterrorism. To accommodate the expanding role of clinical microbiologists, the new edition places greater emphasis on areas such as molecular approaches, bioterrorism, and infection control in medical facilities. Procedures are formatted to adhere to the GP2-A document of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS). As an added feature, procedures are now divided into preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical considerations. The icons in the margin of the text relate to safety and standard precautions and will remind users of the need to register dates of receipt, starting in service and expiration, as well as reinforce quality control. To maximize the flexibility and currency of the new edition, "CMPH" is now available in print, CD-ROM, and online formats. The online version of "CMPH" will be updated continually, followed by timely revisions to the CD-ROM and print formats. Using any combination of the available formats, users may customize the "Clinical Microbiology Procedures Handbook" to best accommodate the needs of their laboratory staff. Features new to the second edition are: addition of three new sections and thorough revision and expansion of existing section; greater emphasis on molecular approaches, bioterrorism, and infection; control in medical facilities; all procedures divided into preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical considerations; new authors detail remarkable expertise in performing diagnostic analyses; and available in print and electronic formats.
