DESCRIPTION
Schaechter’s Mechanisms of Microbial Disease
provides students with a thorough understanding
of microbial agents and the pathophysiology of
microbial diseases. The text is universally praised
for “telling the story of a pathogen” in an engaging
way, facilitating learning and recall by emphasizing
unifying principles and paradigms, rather than
forcing students to memorize isolated facts by
rote. Case studies with problem-solving questions
give students insight into clinical applications of
microbiology, which is ideal for problem-based
learning.
