Features: This textbook is compiled in accordance with the basic teaching requirements formulated by the Ministry of Education, primarily targeting 5-year medical undergraduates with a focus on clinical medicine. It also caters to the needs of related disciplines such as preventive medicine, basic medicine, stomatology, anesthesiology, imaging, pharmacy, laboratory medicine, and nursing. Additionally, it meets the fundamental requirements for the postgraduate entrance examination for master's degree candidates and the National Medical Examination for physician qualification after graduation. The content emphasizes basic theories, knowledge, and skills.
In terms of structure, it adheres to the basic requirements and teaching principles of the discipline. The general part still introduces the three major categories of microorganisms—bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms—covering their biological characteristics, pathogenicity and immunity, microbiological examination, and principles of prevention and control to maintain the integrity of medical microbiology and ensure systematic learning for students. The specific part breaks away from the traditional biological classification, introducing major pathogens primarily based on transmission routes and pathogenic characteristics. This strengthens the connections between different microorganisms, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the etiology of clinical infectious diseases and facilitating integrated thinking. Additionally, each chapter includes clinical cases and hints to closely link medical practice, laying a foundation for subsequent courses while offering guidance for future clinical practice.
To align with the reform trends of the Ministry of Education and improve existing teaching models, adapt to the current educational status of medical colleges, and enhance medical teaching quality, Science Press, after thorough research, has introduced advanced teaching models from abroad. It has innovatively combined case studies with teaching content, creating the first case-based textbook series in China that leads the trend of medical education development. Case-based teaching is an effective approach in medical education to cultivate high-quality, practical, and innovative medical professionals.
