Gold Standard consensus-based procedures from the experts.
The Clinical Microbiology Procedures Handbook, 5th edition,
provides those engaged in microbial analysis of clinical specimens with
procedures for the detection, identification, and characterization of
microorganisms involved in human infections. This unique and valuable
collection of step-by-step descriptions of the numerous testing
modalities used in the clinical microbiology laboratory was written and
edited by highly knowledgeable laboratorians. The 5th edition
features two new sections, one on blood cultures and one on MALDI-TOF
MS, and the sections on molecular diagnostics, virology, and serology
were extensively revised and updated. Presented over multiple volumes,
this handbook enables laboratory staff to perform all analyses,
including appropriate quality control recommendations, from the receipt
of the specimen through processing, testing, interpretation,
presentation of the final report, and subsequent consultation.
