Simplified Infectious Microbiology

SIMPLIFIED INFECTIOUS MICROBIOLOGY
The book Simplified Infectious Microbiology is a book that reveals how microorganisms cause infections. Microorganisms, as some other people called 'germs' are organisms we cannot see with our eyes. Microorganisms are present everywhere, they inhabit the air, water and soil, even human body. There are pathogenic and non- pathogenic microorganisms. The pathogenic microorganisms are those organisms that cause infections to the host, while non-pathogenic microorganisms do not cause infection to the body. Rather they are known normal microflora in the body, that helps to prevent diseases in one way or the other.

However, this book was particular about pathogenic microorganisms that cause infection in the body. Due to the advancement in Science and Technology, Scientists have been able to identify these microorganisms and studied them closely to be able to understand their morphology and how they cause infections. As of today, there are many pathogenic microorganisms all over the world that are causing one infection or the other. In fact, they are posing threat to public health almost everyday.

This is because of their ability to show resistance to antibiotics. However, the beautiful side of it is that, they can be prevented, if discovered early. And, this is why a book like this was written, so as to have better understanding on how all these pathogenic microorganisms can be prevented.

The author of the book has done justice, in revealing some microorganisms, their biochemical characteristics, their mechanisms that makes them to defy host immune system and finally, the diseases they cause. There are so many things to learn in Simplified Infectious Microbiology.

1. You will have idea of the association among organisms
2. How microorganisms defy the host defense mechanisms
3. How host were able to prevent microorganisms from causing infections.
4. You will learn various microorganisms' genera, their biochemical characteristics and how they can be prevented.
5. You will learn how to carry out Antibiotic Susceptibility Test. (AST).
6. You will learn how to carry out microbiological diagnosis, ranging from how to collect sample from client to the point of knowing which antibiotics is effective to cure infection.

Simplified infectious microbiology, contain seven chapters, under each chapter, the author simplified the topic for better understanding of the students. When it comes to laboratory diagnosis of diseases, majority of students find it difficult to arrive at a convincing result, because they lack knowledge on how to carryout simple laboratory diagnosis.

This book came at the right time, to help students all over the world to have better understanding on how this can be done. In this book, you will discover so many things about pathogenic microorganisms. There are various factors that makes microorganisms to be pathogenic and eventually cause infections, make sure you get a copy of this book, you will discover all these factors there.

The book promises to be of tremendous help to the students who wants to find career in paramedical and medical fields.
Simplified Infectious Microbiology is a paramedical book that was put together for easy understanding of how microorganisms cause infection and how they can be prevented.

The book is therefore, recommended for students in higher institution of learning, who are studying course like; Biology, Zoology, Science Laboratory Technology, Medical Laboratory Science, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Public health, Nursing and Medicine and surgery. The lecturers can also found this book useful to prepare lecture note for their students. The book was simplified enough to help students understand how microorganisms cause infections. If you are in these categories of people, then this book is for you. You can recommend this book to you p...
