All areas of critical importance to diagnostic microbiology specimen handling, rapid testing methods, immunological testing, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are explored and illustrated. Additionally, a special introductory section based on OSHA blood-borne pathogen regulations discusses the techniques, clothing and equipment used in the lab.

* An excellent companion to Bailey & Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology. * Authored by a microbiologist, a pathologist, and a medical technologist. * Includes brand new, exclusive photographs. * Discusses and illustrates the multiple appearances of identical microbes when different media and tests are employed.

4.0 out of 5 stars The atlas with the most color diagnostic microbiology pics., December 20, 2001

This review is from: Color Atlas Of Diagnostic Microbiology, 1e (Hardcover)

This atlas beats all the other atlas hands down. I have never seen one atlas contain some many color examples of all the major disease causing microbes and how each one responds to the various diagnostic tests that are performed on them. A must for anyone who is in college for microbiology or clinical lab tech. Each photo has a paragraph next to it detailing which organism it is, along with detailing what the results of the test are and why. No more fumbling thru huge textbooks books looking with the information you need and to only find out that there isn't a photo you can refer to. The only way to learn how to identify microorganisms is by visual learn and when you only have access to the lab one day a week you really must have something at home that you can always refer to.

When I confuse very much in topic of Microbiology laboratory method. I see this book in my faculty's library. I read this. It simply guide me step-by-step to understand the topic. It has clear photograph, complete information, but the price is too expensive.
