Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology, 7th Edition by Connie R. Mahon and Donald C. Lehman is a comprehensive resource that equips students and professionals with essential knowledge in microbiological diagnostics. This edition integrates the latest advances in the field, providing detailed insights into the identification and characterization of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
With an emphasis on clinical relevance, the textbook combines theoretical foundations with practical applications, making it an indispensable guide for laboratory professionals. Its user-friendly layout, rich illustrations, and updated protocols ensure that readers are well-prepared to navigate the complexities of diagnostic microbiology in today’s healthcare environment.
According to the authors, “The field of diagnostic microbiology is undergoing significant transformation, becoming increasingly complex. In response, we are focused on addressing the future needs of the next generation of medical laboratory professionals. As detection and identification methods for infectious agents evolve, many laboratories are transitioning from traditional approaches—such as biochemical identification of bacteria and viral cell cultures—to molecular biology assays.
In Chapter 11, we explore advanced topics, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time-of-flight mass spectrometry and nucleic acid-based identification methods, such as probes, amplification assays, and gene sequencing. This chapter also covers the role of nanomedicine in diagnosing infectious diseases.
As bacteria increasingly develop drug resistance, it is vital for science to keep pace by quickly assessing a bacterium’s susceptibility patterns and discovering more effective treatments for life-threatening infections. Chapter 12 discusses common mechanisms through which bacteria acquire resistance to antimicrobial agents and highlights both widely used and cutting-edge treatments. Chapter 13 follows with a focus on optimal methods for testing drug sensitivity and resistance.
With the rise of innovative molecular technologies, scientific advancements, and gene-based techniques, medical microbiology education within medical laboratory science programs has also experienced significant change. We are committed to continually seeking innovative approaches to deliver the textbook content in a manner that is current, relevant, digestible, and applicable.
Like previous editions, the seventh edition retains the hallmark features of a well-structured and organized textbook. We uphold a building-block approach to learning that emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving, which has proven valuable and effective for students in medical laboratory science and technology, as well as entry-level clinical laboratory scientists.
The primary objective of the Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology is to establish a solid foundation for medical laboratory science students, entry-level practitioners, and other healthcare professionals. Thus, discussions are limited to organisms that are medically significant and commonly encountered, including new and re-emerging pathogens. A distinguishing feature of our textbook is the extensive collection of high-quality full-color photographs and photomicrographs.
Additionally, the text provides students and readers with useful learning aids, such as summary tables, flowcharts, and descriptive illustrations, to facilitate comprehension of the extensive material and reinforce learning. In response to feedback from our readers, we have continued to enhance these features to make the textbook more user-friendly.”
