La passata visione miope del microbioma come elemento patogenetico da sconfiggere tramite il ricorso massiccio agli antibiotic

Revised by a collaborative, international, interdisciplinary team of editors and authors, this edition of the Manual of Clinical Microbiology includes the latest applications of genomics and proteomics and is filled with current findings regarding infectious agents, leading-edge diagnostic methods, laboratory practices, and safety guidelines. This edition also features four new chapters: Diagnostic Stewardship in Clinical Microbiology; Salmonella; Escherichia and Shigella; and Morganellaceae, Erwiniaceae, Hafniaceae, and Selected Enterobacterales. This seminal reference of microbiology continues to set the standard for state-of-the-science laboratory practice as the most authoritative reference in the field of microbiology.

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.

The explosion in clinical testing has been especially rapid in virology, where emerging viruses and growing numbers of viral infections are driving advances. The Guide to Clinical and Diagnostic Virology offers a digestible view of the breadth and depth of information related to clinical virology, providing a practical, working knowledge of the wide array of viruses that cause human disease. Introductory chapters cover the basics of clinical virology and laboratory diagnosis of infections, including virus structure, life cycle, transmission, taxonomy, specimen types and handling, and a comparison of assays used for detection. Detailed sections on important topics include Viral pathogens and their clinical presentations Diagnostic assays and techniques, including culture-based, immunological, and molecular Prevention and management of viral infections, with guidance on biosafety, vaccines, and antiviral therapies The regulatory environment for laboratory testing, including regulatory requirements and assay performance and interpretation Critical concepts are carefully curated and concisely summarized and presented with detailed illustrations that aid comprehension, along with important highlights and helpful hints. These features, plus question sections that reinforce significant ideas and key concepts, make this an invaluable text for anyone looking for an accessible route through clinical and diagnostic virology. Laboratory technologists, medical students, infectious disease and microbiology fellows, pathology residents, researchers, and everyone involved with viruses in the clinical setting will find the Guide to Clinical and Diagnostic Virology an excellent text as well as companion to clinical virology references.
