Oxford Handbook of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology

The Oxford Handbook of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology, 2nd Edition, provides an integrated clinical and laboratory reference for medical practice. Reflecting joint postgraduate training programmes in both disciplines, the handbook connects fundamental principles of bacteriology and virology with practical guidance on individual diseases and conditions.

The volume addresses core topics such as antimicrobials, antibiotics, and infection control. It also incorporates public health considerations, including preventative medicine and bioterrorism, alongside guidance on National Frameworks and relevant legislation.

Reviewed by specialist senior readers, the text incorporates clinical guidance from organisations such as the World Health Organization, NICE, and BASHH, accompanied by links to online resources and clinical information.
