A Case-History Approach
The only book to be written from the ground up with thoroughly integrated case histories, this text helps students work through foundational microbiology concepts. Concepts are laid out in a pedagogically consistent, accessible way and students are invited to apply those concepts to clinical contexts they’ll encounter in their future careers. The first edition text and digital content incorporates the feedback of more than 75 preliminary edition adopters and their students, making the content more accurate, accessible, and relevant."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
