Bailey & Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology, 14th Edition, serves as a bench reference for practicing microbiologists and a textbook for clinical laboratory science students. It provides topical scientific information and practical guidance for laboratory testing.
Core subject areas include fundamental medical microbiology, laboratory safety, specimen management, and diagnostic approaches such as microscopy, traditional cultivation, and nucleic acid detection. The volume also examines antimicrobial susceptibility testing and includes expanded sections on parasitology, mycology, and virology.
Case studies present diverse diagnostic scenarios that allow readers to apply information to realistic laboratory situations. These exercises help students and practitioners develop the critical thinking and decision-making skills required for clinical diagnostic work.
