Section I and II deal with general micro biology and immunology, respectively. Section III, IV, and V deal with bacteriology, virology, and mycology, respec- tively. Lastly, Section VI deals with applied microbiology and includes epidemiology and control of community infections, hospital infections, antimicrobial chemotherapy, water analysis, and immunization. Medical microbiology is a rapidly changing and evolving field. The threat of emerging and reemerging pathogens and the changing epidemiology of known pathogens have made it imperative that we keep abreast of the changes and developments in the field if we are to efficiently deal with them. The second edition of the Textbook of Microbiology and Immunology has been revised thoroughly and revamped to include the latest information in the field of medical microbiology. Special emphasis has been placed on molecular methods of diagnosis, which have revolutionized the diagnosis of infectious diseases and have made it possible to detect hitherto unknown and unculti- vable pathogens from clinical specimens. The problem of antimicrobial resistance with respect to emerging mechanisms, changing epidemiology, and newer ways of detection has been dealt with in detail. This text aims at not only providing basic information about microbiology and immunology, but also deals with the clinical appli- cations of microbiology in the study of infectious diseases. In each chapter, key points are highlighted. Clinical case studies have been included so that students can evaluate their understanding of the various microbes. Photographs and pertinent line diagrams have been included to aid the learning process. The book has been trimmed down so as to include the necessary information with- out overburdening the students. This textbook aims at providing comprehensive information about microbiology and it’s applications for medical students, para- medical students and workers in the field of infectious diseases. I sincerely hope the book serves this purpose and also helps in creating interest towards the subject among students. Readers’ views and suggestions for further improving the book in the coming years are welcome. Suggestions may kindly be e-mailed at [email protected].

This book has been written to provide a comprehensive coverage of basic and clinical microbiology, including immunology, bacteriology, virology, and mycology, in a clear and succinct manner. The book also intends to provide an accurate presentation of clinically relevant information to the learners of medical microbiology. Textbook of Microbiology and Immunology consists of six sections. Section I and II deals with general micro biology and immunology, respectively. Section III, IV, and V deals with bacteriology, virology, and mycology, respectively. Lastly, Section VI deals with applied microbiology and includes epidemiology and control of community infections, hospital infections, antimicrobial chemotherapy, water analysis, and immunization. Emphasis, throughout the text, is made on the clinical applications of microbiology to study infectious diseases. Cultivation and identification of each organism along with pathogenesis of diseases, clinical manifestations, diagnostic laboratory tests, treatment, and prevention and control of resulting infections are thoroughly updated to include most recent advances in the field. Details are summarized in the tabular format. Clinical cases are provided in most of the chapters. The book is profusely illustrated with line diagrams and photomicrographs both black & white and color. I believe this book will be a useful source of comprehensive information for students mainly the undergraduate students of medicine, allied sciences, and others who are interested in medical microbiology. I welcome reader’s views and suggestions for further improvement of the book in the future edition. Suggestions may kindly be e-mailed at [email protected] or at [email protected].
