Again, I felt those discussions should be reserved for Medical Microbiology. Finally, the organization of Basic Medical Microbiology book is focused on organisms—bacteria, viruses, fungi , and parasites—rather than diseases. I do this because I think it is easier for a student to remember a limited number of diseases associated with an organism rather than a long list of organisms or a significantly incomplete list implicated in a specific disease such as pneumonia.
Still, patients present with disease and the observer must develop a list of organisms that could be responsible; so to aid the student, I provide this differential diagnosis in the introductory chapter of each organism section Chapters 2, 12, 18, and I also provide in these introductory chapters an overview of the classification of the organisms a structural framework for remembering the organisms and a listing of antimicrobials that are used to treat infections.
Finally, examination questions are provided to help the student assess their ability to assimilate the Basic Medical Microbiology of material. Again, I will emphasize that the Basic Medical Microbiology text should not be considered a comprehensive review of microbiology. On the other hand, I believe if the student masters Basic Medical Microbiology of material, he or she will have a firm foundation in the principles and applications of microbiology.
I certainly welcome all comments on how successful my efforts are. Visualize the clinical presentations of infections with new and updated clinical photographs, images, and illustrations.

Newly reorganized to correspond with integrated curricula and changing study habits, this practical and manageable text is clearly written and easy to use , presenting clinically relevant information about microbes and their diseases in a succinct and engaging manner. As one of the main founders of modern bacteriology, he identified the specific causative agents of tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax and gave experimental support for the concept of infectious disease, [4] which included experiments on humans and other animals.
Koch created and improved laboratory technologies and techniques in the field of microbiology, and made key discoveries in public health. Before entering school in , he had taught himself how to read and write. Several years after his graduation in , he worked as a surgeon in the Franco-Prussian War, and following his service, worked as a physician in Wollstein in PrussianPosen now Wolsztyn, Poland.
From to , he served as an administrator and professor at Berlin University. In , Koch relinquished his Professorship and became a director of the Prussian Institute for Infectious Diseases [de] which consisted of a clinical division and beds for the division of clinical research.
For this he accepted harsh conditions. The Prussian Ministry of Health insisted after the scandal with tuberculin, which Koch had discovered and intended as a remedy for tuberculosis, that any of Koch's inventions would unconditionally belong to the government and he would not be compensated.
