Now fully revised and updated, Mims’ clinically relevant,
systems-based approach and abundant colour illustrations make this
complex subject easy to understand and remember.
- Learn about infections in the context of major body systems
and understand why these are environments in which microbes can
establish themselves, flourish, and give rise to pathologic changes.
This systems-based approach to microbiology employs integrated and
case-based teaching that places the ‘bug parade’ into a clinical
context.
- Effectively review for problem-based courses
with the help of chapter introductions and ‘Lessons in Microbiology’
text boxes that highlight the clinical relevance of the material, offer
easy access to key concepts, and provide valuable review tools.

through the accompanying electronic ‘Pathogen Parade’ – a quickly
searchable, cross-referenced glossary of viruses, bacteria and fungi
- A new electronic ‘Vaccine Parade’ offers quick-reference coverage of the most commonly used vaccines in current clinical practice
- Deepen your understanding of epidemiology and
the important role it plays in providing evidence-based identification
of key risk factors for disease and targets for preventative medicine.
- Grasp and retain vital concepts easily, with a user-friendly colour coded format, succinct text, key concept boxes, and dynamic illustrations.
- New and enhanced information reflects the growing importance of the human microbiota and latest molecular approaches
- Access
the complete contents on the go via the accompanying interactive eBook,
with a range of bonus materials to enhance learning and retention – includes self-assessment materials and clinical cases to check your understanding and aid exam preparation.
