Sherris Medical Microbiology, 7th Edition, explains the links between infectious microorganisms and human disease states. Across 57 chapters, the textbook examines pathogenic processes, host immune responses, epidemiology, and the biological foundations of antimicrobial therapy.
Coverage addresses viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic organisms that cause infectious diseases. The volume explores basic biology, mechanisms of pathogenesis, and antimicrobial agents across each major category of pathogens.
To aid learning and review, chapters covering major diseases conclude with clinical cases and USMLE-style questions, supplemented by full-color illustrations and a collection of 100 practice questions.
