Sherris Medical Microbiology 6th Edition (2014)

With this 6th edition, Sherris Medical Microbiology enters its fourth decade. We are pleased to welcome new authors, Michael Lagunoff (virology) and Paul Pottinger (antibiotics, parasitology) from the University of Washington; L. Barth Reller (laboratory diagnosis, bacteriology) from Duke University; and Charles R. Sterling (parasitology) from the University of Arizona. Jim Plorde, an author since the first edition, is enjoying a well-deserved rest. John Sherris, the founding editor, continues to act as an inspiration to all of us.

The supplementary materials at the end of the book now include two new additions. The first is Infectious Diseases: Syndromes and Etiologies, a set of tables which re-sort the material in the rest of the book in a clinical context. Here you will find the common infectious etiologies of the major presentations of infectious diseases whether they are viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic. It is hoped these will be of value when the student prepares for case discussions or sees patients. A set of 100 Practice Questions is also included. These are in USMLE format and in addition to the ones following the case studies at the end of the organism-oriented chapters in Parts II-V.
