Schaechter’s Mechanisms of Microbial Disease 6th Edition by N. Cary Engleberg, Michael Imperiale & Victor DiRita ISBN: 978-1-9751-6576-5 / 880pp / November 2021

Known for generations as the most comprehensive foundational text on medical microbiology, 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 emphasising unifying principles and paradigms, rather than forcing students to memorise isolated facts by rote. The table of contents is uniquely organised by microbial class and by organ system, making it equally at home in traditional and case-based curricula. This updated Sixth Edition reflects the latest advances in the field, including significant enhancements to the coverage of serious threats to global health (including COVID-19), respiratory and childhood viruses, and sexually transmitted diseases. New illustrations and additional learning features further clarify concepts, reinforce understanding, and help users confidently prepare for board exams and beyond.
