Series: Practical Approach Series

The first edition of this book established itself as the most widely used, concise guide to the most frequently used procedures in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Because the book describes methods in the order in which they would be encountered in the laboratory, it is the perfect bench companion both for the novice in clinical microbiology and the experienced microbiologist who needs to confirm a detail.

The book encapsulates the practical experience of a group of experienced clinical microbiologists and scientists imparting valuable tips and solutions to both the methodology and interpretation of clinical microbiology results.

Now this book has been extensively up-dated, it represents a state-of-the-art training aid for the diagnostic microbiology laboratory.

The first edition proved to be particularly invaluable to microbiologists preparing for higher professional examinations such as membership of the Royal College of Pathologists and the American Board of Medical Microbiolog

Reviews for Medical Bacteriology: A Practical Approach

This text gives comprehensive practical guidance and protocols for the diagnosis of bacterial infections ... the text contains a wealth of well presented accurate information. MicroBiology Today It was a pleasure and nostalgic experience to review the second edition of this book, a text that has been a cornerstone for trainees in medical microbiology over the last 14 years. The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists ... the replacement of tables by new bold 'protocols' has improved the readability and clarity of layout of each chapter. The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists This is an excellent book, containing the essential basic knowledge for trainees in medical microbiology. I would also recommend it to established consultants as a useful reference source and a means for quickly updating themselves on the practical aspects of diagnostic bacteriology.
