This small but focused book enables the reader to access important information during diagnosis and treatment in a clinically relevant way. It is suitable as a companion for study on the subject and for professional use. The author focuses on the more clinically common diseases at the general and first-referral level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDivided into three sections, the first covers the basics of bacterial microbiology such as structure, growth, and genetics. The second examines the commonly encountered bacterial pathogens, with emphasis on current understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of infection and immunity. The third section explores the current state of knowledge of those fungi involved in infection of animals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific topics covered in \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Veterinary Microbiology\u003c\/i\u003e include:\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNutrition, sterilization, and disinfection of bacteria, bacterial genes and gene transfer, pathogenicity and host response, and vaccination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAntimicrobials (action, dynamics, and resistance), typing and identification of pathogens, fungi as agents of disease, Salmonella and E. coli in animal disease and public health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePathogens transmitted by vectors such as Borrelia, those of endogenous origin such as Clostridium and Pasteurella, and those able to spread widely such as Leptospira, Mycobacterium, and Chlamydia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFungal pathogens causing superficial, subcutaneous, and systemic mycoses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Veterinary Microbiology\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for veterinary students, veterinary nurses, and veterinary practitioners worldwide, allowing them to quickly establish a foundation of knowledge of bacterial pathogens based on clear understanding gained from studies over recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854544326892,"sku":"9780470659472","price":143.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a3b15e9bbb341380e0996b2110147b45.jpg?v=1759268747","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/fundamentals-of-veterinary-microbiology-by-andrew-n-rycroft-9780470659472","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
