Editorial Reviews

Review

The text is concise yet meticulously designed to inform the reader on practically all there is presently known about the CWD forms. Dr. Mattmans book is a valuable asset to any clinical microbiology unit which is actively engaged in the practice of good precise clinical microbiology.
John P. Heggers
This book provides the most extensive review of this subject presently available, and is an invaluable reference source.
Annals of Internal Medicine
This outstanding work constitutes a keystone for further studies on this intriguing chapter of bacteriology.
Dr. Conrad Xalabarder, Barcelona --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

Numerous infectious diseases are described as idiopathic, meaning that "the cause is a complete mystery." For many idiopathic diseases, the causes become clear when certain techniques are applied to the patient's blood or other tissues. Cell Wall Deficient Forms: Stealth Pathogens, Third Edition describes these techniques. In the case of tuberculosis, a disease that has recently regained importance because the strains have acquired antibiotic resistance, the book describes a method that is widely used abroad. This method typically renders the diagnosis within 72 hours. The book examines a plethora of issues and provides answers to the following questions:oWhat organism should be added to the childhood vaccine, especially for boys?oWhat bacteria in its pleomorphic state is found in direct smears of synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis cases?oIn which chronic diseases ( presently considered as being of unknown origin) is an acid-fast organism routinely found in smears of 72 hour blood cultures?oWhich "bacterium" has a life cycle in the human erythrocyte as complex as that of Plasmodium malaria?oWhich common pathogen's L Form can permanently damage myocardium mammaliam? Cell Wall Deficient Forms: Stealth Pathogens, Third Edition discloses significant aspects of microbiology, aspects that are not taught, and which go unrecognized in the clinical laboratory.

Currently bacteriology holds the belief that each species of bacteria has only a certain very simple form (coccus, bacillus, spirillum, or filament) and that it retains this form during its only mode of reproduction, which is by division into two. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring it to the Lab with you!, March 16, 2009
By R. Mohan "Ross Mohan" (Washington, DC, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This excellent book covers history (e.g. Almquist's significant
contributions) and nomenclature (the boon/bane of the working
biologist!) and tons and tons and tons of lab technique, "what ifs",
"gotchas", and scanning electron microscopy. I am still reading
it, and I can already tell this is going to be a "re-read". It's
dense with information, yet retains readability.

Perhaps this reviewer is prejudiced by his pre-existing preference for
science that balances the synthetic with the analytic, and the
integrative with the logical/reductionist, but I would think any working
virologist, bacteriologist, pathologist would find this (admittedly
pricey!) book a "Must Have".

I truly hope you enjoy this book as much as I am!
