Description of Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple
The practicing physician is critical for well Developed knowledge of clinical microbiology in any medical field. Bacteria, viruses, and protozoans have no respect for the distinction between ophthalmology, pediatrics, trauma surgery, or geriatric medicine. The concepts of microbial disease and antimicrobial therapy you will be faced daily if you have a physician. Microbiology is only one course where much of the minute is regularly used by the practicing physician.
The book Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple is the learning of microbiology by presenting the information attempts to facilitate in a clear and entertaining manner brimming with memory aids. Our approach has been to:
1) A conversational style writing for rapid assimilation.
2) Include visual memory tools, numerous figures serving and summary charts at the end of each chapter. These can be used for "cram sessions" after the concepts have been studied in the text.
3) Clinical and infectious disease issues are more concentrating that are both interesting and vital to the actual practice of medicine.
4) An organized approach to the organisms studied so the student relies less on memory and more on logical pathophysiology.
The text has been updated to include current information on rapidly developing topics, such as HIV and AIDS (vaccine efforts and all the new anti-HIV medications), Avian Influenza H5Nl, SARS Coronavirus, Ebola virus, Hantavirus, E. coli outbreaks, Mad Cow Disease, brand-new antimicrobial antibiotics, and agents of bioterrorism
