KONEMAN'S COLOR ATLAS & TXTBK OF DIAGNOSTIC MICROBIOLOGY 6E: .

by Elmer W. Koneman

Long considered the definitive work in its field, this new edition presents all the principles and practices readers need for a solid grounding in all aspects of clinical microbiology—bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, and virology. Tests are presented according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (formerly NCCLS) format.

This extensively revised edition includes practical guidelines for cost-effective, clinically relevant evaluation of clinical specimens including extent of workup and abbreviated identification schemes. New chapters cover the increasingly important areas of immunologic and molecular diagnosis.

Clinical correlations link microorganisms to specific disease states. Over 600 color plates depict salient identification features of organisms.

[Brenton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I used this book during my Clinical Laboratory Science program. This book is not for beginners to Clinical Microbiology. The book goes into great detail on every microbe presented in the book. Most of the information present you would not see on any test or certification exam.

On the positive side, there are parasites and bacteria presented in this book that most other books do not cover. This book is a keeper as a reference book if you plan to specialize in Micro or work in Clinical Microbiology.
