Retaining the popular format and accessibility of its predecessor, Color Atlas of Microbiology, this new atlas covers the appearance and identification of bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites of medical importance. Its high-quality photographs, each with a marker bar indicating magnification, illustrate microscopic and macroscopic features of disease causing bacteria and fungi. The atlas also includes charts highlighting the disease caused by particular groups of microbes and a completely up-to-date section on agents, reactions and tests.
