Medical Microbiology

Microbiology is a necessary foundational science for understanding infectious diseases and for better understanding the function of microbes in maintaining health. This textbook focuses on the helping the clinician- and researcher-in-training develop the understanding of microbiology most needed to answer the question:: What information do I need to know that will help me understand how to treat an infected patient.
As curricular changes evolve, so does this text. In the current edition, they introduced an e-only systems-based chapter. In the new edition, this is providing the framework for a new section (in print and e) and the foundational chapters will be further reduced.
Our best-selling microbiology reference, Medical Microbiology, often known as the “Murray,” is a classic textbook. Nineth edition print unit forecasts are roughly equivalent to 8^th edition unit sales. While some medical programs consider the text “too much” for the short time during their course and prefer a smaller text, many educators and students gravitate toward this more comprehensive text and reference. Even residents use it to explore deeper concepts and prepare for boards.
