While evolving molecular diagnostic methods are being heralded for
the role they will play in improving our ability to cultivate and
identify bacteria, fungi, and viruses, the reality is that those
new methods are still beyond the technical and financial reach of
most clinical laboratories. Most clinical microbiology laboratories
still rely upon culture methods for the identification of
microorganisms of medical importance. The newest edition of the
Handbook of Media for Clinical Microbiology addresses the needs of
clinical microbiology laboratories and infectious disease
researchers. Authored by Ronald Atlas and James Snyder, who over
the years have built solid reputations among researchers for their
exceptionally reliable media handbooks, this volume gives
microbiologists in clinical and medical laboratories the reference
they need to quickly and effectively deal with the modern
challenges shaping the field. Organized for a fast-paced
environment, this fully updated Second Edition provides clinical
diagnostic laboratories with an easy-to-use reference for those
routine and specialized media employed in the cultivation of
pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Almost 1,650 media are
described in this edition, among them many newly developed media
designed for the rapid detection and identification of
disease-causing microorganisms, including those responsible for
emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Describes media
designed to cultivate and identify Escherichia coli O157:H7,
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and
vancomycin-resistant enterococci Includes chromogenic or
fluorogenic substrates that permit the rapid detection of specific
pathogens critical to the diagnosis of individuals with specific
infectious diseases The Handbook provides a compilation of the
formulations, methods of preparation, and applications for media
used in the clinical microbiology laboratory. Listings are
