Features: In terms of layout, based on the fundamental requirements and teaching principles of this discipline, the basic knowledge of medical microbiology is arranged in chapters. Students of different academic programs or specialties share the same basic requirements and must focus on this content. After grasping the commonalities and research methods of microorganisms, universities or programs can selectively introduce the characteristics of various types of microorganisms. This facilitates students in making vertical and horizontal comparisons or self-study. To maintain the completeness of fungal content and facilitate teaching, this books the basic biological characteristics, pathogenicity, and detection methods of fungi in the fourth chapter. In terms of content, two new chapters on microbial genomics and biosafety have been added, along with content on cellular microbiology. The integration of basic and clinical knowledge has been strengthened, with a focus on newly discovered and re-emerging infectious diseases and their related pathogens. The prevention-first approach is emphasized, with discussions on the monitoring, early warning, and control of public health emergencies, as well as biosafety and protection in microbial laboratories, all introduced in relevant chapters. This textbook also includes English abstracts, medical websites, and updates on the latest developments in related fields, aiming to promote bilingual teaching, broaden perspectives, inspire students' thinking, and enhance their self-study and innovative abilities. Additionally, this textbook is accompanied by a CD-ROM. Therefore, it is not only suitable for medical students in long-term academic programs but also serves as a reference for graduate students, teachers, and researchers.
