Description
ASM News called the 4th Edition of Dr. Murray’s best-selling book “the most colorful and fun text to read in medical microbiology.” Now it’s back in an updated New Edition—and it’s as succinct, user-friendly, and authoritative as ever. Readers will continue to enjoy its lucid discussions of how microbes cause disease in humans. Expert coverage of basic principles, the immune response, laboratory diagnosis, bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology ensures they understand all the facts vital to the practice of medicine today. More than 550 brilliant full-color images make complex information easy to understand and illustrate the appearance of disease.
