  This second edition includes more material, especially in virology, molecular biology of bacteria and the molecular basis of bacterial pathogenesis. It includes a new chapter on microbial genetics. Many other chapters have been revised with the purpose of achieving greater coverage of the molecular and immunological basis of pathogenesis. Paradigms have been included in most chapters on bacteria and viruses to provide generalizations on specific points in pathogenesis. The answers to self-assessment questions (absent from the first edition), have now been provided.

  This textbook contains material about microbial agents and how the host responds to them. By focusing on common features of all host-parasite relationships, facts can be organized on a predictable conceptual framework which, in turn, facilitates learning and recall. Key concept boxes appear at the beginning of each chapter; history boxes are included throughout the text; and case studies add greater understanding of clinical applications.
