Infection [PDF ebook] 
Microbiology and Management

Infection: Microbiology and Management provides a core
resource for the understanding of medical microbiology and
infectious diseases. Content covers microbiological and clinical
diagnosis, through to clinical management, epidemiology and the
control of infectious conditions as they occur both in the hospital
and community setting.

With a concise, systems-based approach, the third edition has
been revised and restructured and now covers wider epidemiological
and public concerns. Key feature boxes, self assessment and case
studies assist learning in each chapter.

Designed to be used either as a basic learning text, or as a
practical textbook in the clinical setting, Infection:
Microbiology and Management, previously titled Infectious
Disease, will continue to appeal to students at all stages of
their career, candidates for higher examinations, the general
physician and surgeon, epidemiologists and experts in public
health.
