2nd Edition
by Jules J. Berman (Author)
Taxonomic Guide to Infectious Diseases: Understanding the Biologic Classes of Pathogenic Organisms, Second Edition tackles
the complexity of clinical microbiology by assigning every infectious
organism to one of 40+ taxonomic classes and providing a description of
the defining traits that apply to all the organisms within each class.
This edition is an updated, revised and greatly expanded guide to the
classes of organisms that infect humans. This book will provide students
and clinicians alike with a simplified way to understand the complex
fields of clinical microbiology and parasitology.
- Focuses on human disease processes and includes numerous clinical tips for healthcare providers
- Describes
the principles of classification and explains why the science of
taxonomy is vital to the fields of bioinformatics and modern disease
research
- Provides images of prototypical organisms for taxonomic classes
- Includes a section that lists common taxonomic pitfalls and how they can be avoided
