Bailey & Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology, 15th Edition provides systematic instruction on clinical diagnostic procedures used to identify human pathogens. Written by Patricia M. Tille and published by Elsevier UK, this textbook supports students who are enrolled in university clinical laboratory science programs as they learn diagnostic principles.

High-level thematic coverage spans laboratory safety protocols, specimen management strategies, and traditional microbial cultivation techniques alongside advanced nucleic acid-based analytical methods. The text incorporates expanded sections dedicated to bacteriology, parasitology, mycology, and virology. Additionally, the content integrates recent clinical updates regarding COVID-19, evolving infectious disease trends, findings from the Human Microbiome Project, and expanded analytical applications for MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

To visually reinforce diagnostic concepts, the volume includes more than 800 full-color illustrations. Recognized for professional merit, this text received the 2024 Textbook Excellence Award from the Textbook and Academic Authors Association and earned selection for Doody's Core Titles 2024 in Laboratory Technology.
