Perfect your lab skills with the essential text for diagnostic microbiology!

Bailey & Scott’s Diagnostic Microbiology, 16^th Edition Is known as the #1 bench reference for practicing microbiologists and the preeminent text for students in clinical laboratory science programs.

With hundreds of full-color illustrations and step-by-step methods for procedures, this text provides a solid, basic understanding of diagnostic microbiology and covers more advanced techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Written by noted CLS educator Dr.

Patricia Tille, Diagnostic Microbiology has everything you need to get accurate lab test results in class and in clinical practice.

NEW!
Expanded molecular content enhances each specific organism area
NEW!
Revised life cycle illustrations clarify and reinforce important components
More than 800 high-quality, full-color illustrations help you visualize key concepts
Expanded sections on parasitology, mycology, and virology allow you to use just one book, eliminating the need to purchase other microbiology textbooks for these topics
Case studies and step-by-step procedures in the ebook version (sold separately) and on the Evolve companion website allow you to see what takes place in the lab and to apply your knowledge to diagnostic scenarios
Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter provide measurable outcomes to achieve by completing the chapter material
Review questions at the end of each chapter in the ebook version (sold separately) and on the Evolve companion website help you apply and assess the knowledge you’ve learned
Genera and Species boxes provide handy, at-a-glance summaries at the beginning of each organism chapter
A glossary defines terms at the back of the book
