The book puts itself forward both as a training manual and as a concrete working tool for laboratory practice. Emerging from the encounter of scientific knowledge and long experience, it is designed to represent the essence of the bacteriology performed in a Clinical Microbiology laboratory of medium-large dimensions, illustrating the operational aspects with simple diagrams that are easy to apply. It thus provides an ideal didactic support for degree courses for lab technicians and nurses, and at the same time a useful contribution to professional updating in the hospital and health spheres. For this reason it comes complete with a CD featuring high-definition digital images that highlight the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of the bacteria, and with a list of websites where the reader can seek further information.
