Learn to develop the problem-solving skills necessary for success in the clinical setting! The Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology, 6^th Edition uses a reader-friendly “building-block” approach to the essentials of diagnostic microbiology. This updated edition has new content on viruses like Zika, an expanded molecular chapter, and the latest information on prevention, treatment modalities, and CDC guidelines. Updated photos offer clear examples of automated lab instruments, while case studies, review questions, and learning objectives present information in an easy-to-understand, accessible manner for students at every level.

• A building-block approach encourages you to use previously learned information to sharpen critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Full-color design, with many full-color photomicrographs, prepares you for the reality of diagnostic microbiology.
• A case study at the beginning of each chapter provides you with the opportunity to form your own questions and answers through discussion points.
• Hands-on procedures describe exactly what takes place in the micro lab, making content more practical and relevant.
• Agents of bioterrorism chapter furnishes you with the most current information about this hot topic.
• Issues to Consider boxesencourages you to analyze important points.
