The most dynamic, comprehensive, and student-friendly text on the nature of microorganisms and the fascinating processes they employ in producing infections disease

A Doody's Core Title
For more than a quarter-of-a-century, this renowned text has helped readers develop a solid grasp of the significance of etiologic agents, the pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the basis of therapy for infectious diseases. Now, with a NEW four-color design, the book is shorter and more assessable for students! Outstanding pedagogical elements are carried throughout this edition including:



Over 400 outstanding images with hundreds of tables and illustrations
Detailed legends under the art so the reader can better understand what's occurring within the illustration, without having to flip back to the text
Clinical Cases with USMLE Style Questions
Margin Notes identifying the "high-yield" must know content in each chapter
Bulleted Summaries that conclude each chapter



Sherris & Ryan's Medical Microbiology, Eighth Edition is divided into five parts:

Part I opens with a chapter that explains the nature of infection and the infectious agents at the level of a general reader. The following four chapters give more detail on the immunologic, diagnostic, and epidemiologic nature of infection with minimal detail about the agents themselves.

Parts II through V form the core of the text with chapters on the major viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases, and each begins with its own chapters on basic biology, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial agents.

Features and Learning Aids:



57 chapters that simply and clearly describe the strains of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can bring about infectious diseases (plus one online only chapter)
Explanations of host-parasite relationship, dynamics of infection, and host response
A clinical case with USMLE-style questions concludes each chapter on the major viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases
Numerous full-color photographs, tables, and illustrations
