Introduction to Clinical Anaerobic Bacteriology

An Introduction to Clinical Anaerobic Bacteriology is a practical guide designed to enable the reader to isolate and identify 20 commonly occurring, clinically important anaerobic bacteria. This 71-page publication is illustrated with stunning, detailed colour photographs and attractive reference tables.

Designed to fill a gap in the practical reference materials currently available to support clinical laboratory practice, the publication was originally written by Professor Michael W. D. Wren MBE FIBMS, former Consultant Biomedical Scientist in the Department of Microbiology at University College Hospital and Visiting Professor at the University of Westminster. The fourth edition was co-authored by Dr Sarah D. Copsey-Mawer, Senior Biomedical Scientist at the UK Anaerobe Reference Unit, and Dr Alida C. M. Veloo from the Department of Medical Microbiology and Infection Prevention at the University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands.

With a foreword by Trefor Morris, Lead Biomedical Scientist at the UK Anaerobe Reference Unit, and contributions from Dr Andrew Pridmore, Head of the Don Whitley Scientific Laboratory, considerable expert knowledge has been brought together to make this the most up-to-date reference guide for the modern clinical laboratory.
