In the backdrop of the transitions of modern healthcare from generic to personalized, One health replacing the health, medical education is going through transformations to accommodate the new and revise or update the basics.Inthislandscape,theresurgenceofexistingpathogens,emergingand re-emerging infections, and the worldwide phenomenon of antimicrobial resistance have made microbiology more relevant where contextual clinical interventions demand more corroboration with accurate diagnosis and syndrome-based investigation rather than classical organismal views. It has beenfuturetriggeredbyourpresentcentury’sexperiencewiththeCOVID-19 pandemic where parallel scientific advances in terms of molecular tools and technology and their affordability as a whole have brought whole new revolutions in our understandings and dealings with pathogens. As such, a reflectionofthesedevelopmentsintheexistingacademicbookwasnecessary forthefraternityincludingthestudentandteachers. The recent introduction of “Competency-Based Medical Education” (CBME) by the National Medical Commission, India, has resulted in a sea change in the microbiology syllabus for the undergraduate (MBBS) and postgraduate (MD) students of this country. The approach has shifted from organism-relatedteachingtosystemandsyndrome-basedexpositionofinfec- tiousdiseaseswhichismorerelevantforthetrainingofamedicalstudentin FacultyofMedicine. This fourth edition of Textbook of Microbiology and Immunology has, therefore,madethefirstattempttobemoreinclusiveandcontextualtomeet the current demand gap in simplistic approaches keeping stock of the latest development in the field of medical microbiology and immunology. While doingso,thisbookhasblendedthetraditionalorganism-basedlearninganda syndromic approach to infectious disease, together with the introduction of newandmodifiedchaptersincorporatingthelatestinformationinthisfield.

Pondicherry,India SubhashChandraParija Preface to the First Edition The intent of the book is to provide an up-to-date information on microbial diseaseswhichareemergingasanimportanthealthproblemworldwide.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 medicalmicrobiology. TextbookofMicrobiologyandImmunologyconsistsofsixsections.PartsI and II deals with general microbiology and immunology, respectively. Parts III, IV and V deals with bacteriology, virology and mycology, respectively. Lastly, Part VI deals with applied microbiology and includes epidemiology and control of community infections, hospital infections, antimicrobial che- motherapy,wateranalysisandimmunisation. Emphasis, throughout the text, is made on the clinical applications of microbiologytostudyinfectiousdiseases. Cultivationandidentificationofeachorganismalongwithpathogenesisof 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 summarised in the tabular format. Clinical cases are provided in most of the chapters. The book is profusely illustrated with line diagrams and photomicrographs both blackandwhiteandcolour. I believe this book will be a useful source of comprehensive information for students mainly the undergraduate students of medicine, allied sciences andotherswhoareinterestedinmedicalmicrobiology. 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].
