Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare, from
cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery
to food poisoning and infection control. Without biomedical
scientists, the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the
effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of
disease would not be possible. The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science
series has been written to reflect the challenges of practicing
biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science
with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of
the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that
lead to diagnosis. Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the
series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical
Scientist may be exposed - from microbiology to cytopathology to
transfusion science. The series: · Understands the complex roles of
Biomedical Scientists in the modern practice of medicine. ·
Understands the development needs of employers and the Profession. ·
Addresses the need for understanding of a range of fundamental
sciences in the context of Biomedicine. · Places the theoretical
aspects of Biomedical Science in their practical context via clinical
case studies. Medical Microbiology covers a range of key laboratory
techniques used in the diagnosis of important human diseases caused by
microorganisms. From sample collection, through to analysis and
laboratory investigation, the text covers a wide range of procedures
and highlights how and why results are generated. The third edition
has been expanded to cover a wider range of topics, including a new
chapter on Whole Genome Sequencing and extended coverage of syphilis
and MALDI.
