Summary

This book presents the basic principles of microbial infections, a short systematic treatment of the organisms the diseases caused by infection. It concludes with a section on the general principles of control and treatment of infection. Bacteria, fungi and protozoa are covered. The information is presented for the reader in a highly accessible form, using a double page spread for each topic, graphics, summary boxes and tables.
