Fully reviewed and revised for its third edition, the Oxford Handbook of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology remains the invaluable guide to all aspects of infectious diseases and microbiology. Reflecting the current approach to joint postgraduate training programmes, the handbook takes an integrated approach to both subjects. It covers the basic principles of bacteriology and virology, along with specific guidance on individual diseases and conditions, all in the accessible Oxford Handbook style. The chapters have been expanded to include new developments that reflect the fast-changing field of infectious diseases and their managements, including novel pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and updated treatments for infections such as Hepatitis C. Diagnostic technologies such as whole-genome sequence based approaches are covered in greater detail, and the increased role of antimicrobial stewardship in the management of antiviral and antifungal prescribing has been substantially reviewed since the previous edition. Practical and comprehensive, this handbook includes coverage of current legislation and guidelines, as well as substantial changes to species nomenclature. Fully reviewed by specialist senior clinicians, and with useful links to up-to-date clinical information and online resources, this title remains a cornerstone for all infection trainees, those working in laboratory settings, and candidates preparing for infection examinations such as CICE and FRCPath.

Hugo & Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology Discover the very latest developments in pharmaceutical microbiology in the 9th edition of this popular textbook Microbiology is one of the essential pharmaceutical sciences upon which the study and practice of pharmacy is built. It has a bearing on all aspects of the manufacture of medicines and sterile products, from their design and development to their delivery as quality products. Few interventions are more central to modern medicine than the treatment of infection, where antibiosis, vaccination and hygienic practices have essential roles to play. The COVID-19 pandemic, the appearance of new pathogens and the rise of antibiotic resistance have demonstrated most completely the need for pharmaceutical practitioners, researchers and industrial scientists to be fully conversant with this field. The 9th edition of Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology has been updated to meet this need. Having long served as the sole comprehensive textbook covering this subject, it has now been adapted to a critical new period in the advancement of medical and pharmaceutical research and development. Its experienced editors have incorporated contributions from subject experts and created a text which will serve the next generation of pharmacy students, pharmaceutical industry scientists and researchers. In this ninth edition of Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, readers will find: A mix of established and new authors bringing practical and research experience to their chapters Material covering the fundamentals of microbiology, microbial behavior and laboratory investigation Revised chapters incorporating new material on microbe-host interactions, antibiotic resistance, emerging pathogens, public health microbiology, healthcare-associated infection and pharmaceutical manufacture Emerging understandings from the COVID-19 pandemic on infection prevention and control and vaccine development Practitioners providing their insights on clinical practice and pharmaceutical production An accompanying website incorporating teaching resources Hugo and Russell’s Pharmaceutical Microbiology, 9th edition promises to remain the essential text for pharmacy and medical students, as well as researchers and industry professionals.

La microbiologia medica ha l'obiettivo di studiare i microrganismi che causano patologie

Prefazione Questo nuovo testo di Microbiologia è stato concepito per gli studenti del corso di Laurea in Infermieristica. Ci siamo proposti di integrare le nozioni essenziali riguardanti le caratteristiche di base dei microrganismi, approfondendo i quadri patologici causati dai principali agenti infettivi, i procedimenti utilizzati per la diagnosi delle infezioni da essi causate, nonché le terapie comunemente utilizzate per il trattamento delle stesse. Gli argomenti sono trattati nell’ottica del coinvolgimento dell’Infermiere nella presa in carico del paziente e del suo ruolo centrale nella equipe sanitaria per il management delle patologie causate da un agente infettivo. Pertanto, particolare attenzione è stata posta nella trattazione dei criteri da seguire per una corretta esecuzione dei prelievi dei campioni da sottoporre ad indagini microbiologiche, nella somministrazione della terapia e nella appropriata conoscenza delle procedure utili alla corretta istruzione dei pazienti.  Si è dato, inoltre, particolare risalto a due aspetti della microbiologia clinica spesso trascurati ma rilevanti per il futuro  professionista infermiere. Da un lato si sono approfondite le infezioni associate all’assistenza, quali infezioni nosocomiali ed opportunistiche, sottolineando il ruolo cruciale dell’Infermiere nel prevenire la diffusione dei patogeni e di ceppi antibiotico resistenti all’interno delle strutture ospedaliere o nelle RSA. Dall’altro, abbiamo dedicato un intero capitolo al ruolo degli agenti infettivi come rischio occupazionale per il personale infermieristico, descrivendo le procedure previste per svolgere l’attività lavorativa in sicurezza.  Per favorire l’apprendimento e la memorizzazione di alcuni concetti chiave, in appendice è possibile consultare una serie di schede riassuntive sulle principali caratteristiche dei più comuni e importanti patogeni umani.
