Book Description
Bacteria constitute a large category of prokaryotic microorganisms which are a few micrometers in size. The study of bacteria, their biochemistry, morphology, ecology and genetics is under the scope of bacteriology. The importance of bacteriology is witnessed in its wide applications in the treatment and prevention of diseases with the use of vaccines. It is an important domain under microbiology, which studies the classification, identification and characterization of bacterial species. This textbook aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of bacteriology. It elucidates new techniques and applications of this discipline in a multidisciplinary approach. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of bacteriology as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.

Book Description
Fairbrother's Textbook of Bacteriology, Tenth Edition provides an outline of the medical aspects of bacteriology. This book emphasizes the biological relationship of allied organisms. Organized into three parts encompassing 38 chapters, this edition begins with an overview of the various elements of the bacterial cell in detail, starting with external features such as flagella and capsules, and working inwards to the cytoplasm. This text then describes the principal toxic effects of the different groups of anti-bacterial substances. Other chapters consider the relationship of the different types of hypersensitivity to classical immune responses. This book discusses as well the earliest application of a specific chemical substance to the treatment of microbial disease. The final chapter deals with the various methods used to determine the sensitivity of bacteria to the different sulphonamides. This book is a valuable resource for medical students. Bacteriologists, chemists, pathologists, and microbiologists will also find this book useful.
