Descriptions of Medical Fungi

This book’s fourth edition offers clinicians and laboratory personnel a convenient benchtop reference on the detection and antifungal susceptibility of fungal diseases in humans and animals. It includes descriptions of 179 species from 109 genera, including all of the major medical fungal diseases. Current morphological descriptions and name modifications have been reconciled with more recent genetic data by the authors of this updated edition, which also includes new and revised descriptions. Members of the yeasts, mucoromycetes, conidial molds, dimorphic pathogens, and dermatophytes—among the most prevalent fungal species—are described. Researchers in medical microbiology and mycology labs, as well as laboratory personnel and physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of fungal infections in humans and animals, will find this useful reference indispensable.
