by Andrew N. Rycroft
A compact and accessible guidebook exploring current understanding of common bacterial and fungal pathogens of animals.
Fundamentals of Veterinary Microbiology
brings together knowledge and understanding of the bacterial pathogens
of animals from disease signs and diagnostic methods to the molecular
basis of the host pathogen interaction. A small but focused book, it
enables the reader to access important information during diagnosis and
treatment in a clinically relevant way. Suitable as a companion for
study on the subject and for professional use, the author focuses on the
more clinically common diseases at the general and first-referral
level.
Divided into three sections, the first covers the
basics of bacterial microbiology such as structure, growth and genetics.
The second examines the commonly encountered bacterial pathogens, with
emphasis on current understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of
infection and immunity. The third section explores the current state
of knowledge of those fungi involved in infection of animals.
Specific topics covered in Fundamentals of Veterinary Microbiology include:
Fundamentals of Veterinary Microbiology is an essential resource for veterinary students, veterinary nurses, and veterinary practitioners worldwide, allowing them to quickly establish a foundation of knowledge of bacterial pathogens based on clear understanding gained from studies over recent decades.
