Perfect your lab skills with the essential text for diagnostic
microbiology! Bailey & Scott’s Diagnostic Microbiology, 15th Edition
Is known as the #1 bench reference for practicing microbiologists and
as the preeminent text for students in clinical laboratory science
programs. With hundreds of full-color illustrations and step-by-step
methods for procedures, this text provides a solid, basic understanding
of diagnostic microbiology and also covers more advanced techniques such
as matrix-assisted laser desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
Written by noted CLS educator Dr. Patricia Tille, Diagnostic
