Undergraduate Biomedical Science students, pathology trainees, and clinical microbiologists Core Structural Framework
Medical Microbiology Michael Ford is a cornerstone text in the Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series published by Oxford University Press
In addition to its core content, the third edition has been extensively updated to reflect the latest advancements. It includes a new chapter on Whole Genome Sequencing, extended coverage of syphilis detection and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and new sections on congenital infections, human papillomavirus infection, and food microbiology.
The book's strength lies in its practical, process-driven structure. It covers the entire journey of a clinical sample, from collection to analysis, while exploring the theory behind the techniques. The third edition, published in June 2019, has been significantly expanded to include cutting-edge topics. It is around 568 pages in the 3rd edition, and 484 pages in the 2nd edition. The following table breaks down its detailed table of contents, giving you a clear map of the knowledge you'll gain.
| General Topic | Examples of Specific Topics Covered | | :--- | :--- | | | Introduction to Microbiology, Microbial Classification, Bacterial Cell Structure and Growth | | Core Lab Techniques | Culture Media, Identification Tests, Susceptibility Testing & Antibiotic Assay | | Sample-Specific Investigations | Blood Cultures, Urine Samples, Wound & Tissue Samples, CSF & Fluids from Sterile Sites, Respiratory Samples, GI Specimens | | Specialized Microbiology | Clinical Parasitology, Clinical Mycology, Virology, Infection Prevention & Control | | Advanced & Emerging Topics | Molecular Diagnostics, Whole Genome Sequencing (new in 3rd ed.), Bacterial Pathogenesis | | Practical Procedures | Procedures for Sample Collection, Transport, and Processing |
