Bailey & Scott's Diagnostic Microbiology, 12e ) PDF

I am a Medical Laboratory Scientist and this book is very useful. It provides helpful flow charts and basic descriptions of biochemical, molecular, and automated differential testing technologies. What this book does not offer is a comprehensive survey of environmental microorganisms and their biotechnology applications. The book does not provide extensive review of emperical treatment strategies. The book is most appropriate for medical technologists who manage a steady stream of patient samples that they inoculate growth media with. It discusses techniques used to isolate single organisms, describe colony and growth characteristics, perform biochemical testing and practical identification. Discussion is provided on the steps preceding the identification sufficient for selecting an appropriate antibiotic suceptability card. After they test the battery of antibiotics contained in the card against the isolated organism, they can provide susceptibility data to physicians who can then choose acceptable therapy. This book is most useful for the individuals who work in the laboratory.

This book holds a lot of useful information from safety to bacteria. Some of the parasitology was lacking and all of the tables can be useful or a menace depending on how well you can learn from them. The pictures were very useful and everything is easy to understand.
