Strelkauskas' Microbiology (eBook, PDF)

A Clinical Approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

As with the much-praised prior editions, the third edition of Strelkauskas' Microbiology: A Clinical Approach remains a comprehensive introductory textbook written specifically for pre-nursing, nursing and allied health students. Clinically relevant throughout, it uses the theme of infection as its foundation, fitting closely with the 'One Health' approach that is considered increasingly central to the effective control of zoonoses and to combatting antimicrobial resistance. The third edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest developments, including the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and associated COVID-19 pandemic. The book is accompanied by a robust instructor ancillary package that allows educators to incorporate readily the book's unique approach into their lectures and includes additional materials for students to supplement classroom learning and encourage and support study and self-reflection.

Key Features:

• Student-focused, with all elements carefully designed to help students engage with and understand difficult concepts and to spark and hold interest
• Dedicated learning skill section introduces practical strategies for improving comprehension and retention
• Numerous text features further support learning and teaching, including chapter overviews, fast facts, case studies and human stories, and 'why is this important?' highlights
• A variety of question-and-answer types for self-testing and reflection to support and assess basic learning, to challenge students to integrate important concepts and ask students to apply what they have just learned to a specific clinical setting or problem
• All supported by a comprehensive suite of online resources including lecturer support material and, for students, interactive questions, lecture notes, MicroMovies and the BugParade

The book is an excellent resource to guide and support inter-professional education in the health sciences and an ideal entry-point to the subject for anyone coming from another discipline and invaluable supplementary reading for medical, microbiology and biomedical science students.
