This
book covers the following topics related to bacteriology: Historical
Introduction, Position of Bacteria, Relationships to Algae, Yeasts, Molds,
Protozoa, Morphology, Physiology, The study of bacteria: Culture Media, Methods
of Using Culture Media, Isolation of Bacteria in Pure Culture, Study of the
Morphology of Bacteria, Study of the Physiology of Bacteria and Animal
Inoculation, General pathogenic bacteriology: Pathogenic Bacteria Outside the
Body, Channels of Infection, Immunity, Theories of Immunity, Ehrlich’s Theory,
Phagocytosis and Anaphylaxis.
This book is a
list of bacteria that are significant in medicine. It is not intended as an
exhaustive list of all bacterial species: that should be at List of bacteria.
Names
included in the approved List of Bacterial Names are the only names which are
nomenclaturally valid as at the 1st January, 1980. Alphabetical arrangement
under genera, species, and subspecies.

The web
contains many images of bacterias. The purpose of this page is to provide a
central location to go to for images of pathogenic bacteria on the web.

This book
first presents the basic concepts of the immune response, bacterial
structure, taxonomy, metabolism, and genetics. Subsequent chapters emphasize
normal relationships among bacteria on external surfaces, mechanisms by which
microorganisms damage the host, host defense mechanisms, source and distribution
of pathogens (epidemiology), principles of diagnosis and mechanisms of action of
antimicrobial drugs.

This book is published by World Health Organization. In
this book WHO brings together and updates the various guidelines produced by WHO
over the years on sampling of specimens for laboratory investigation,
identification of bacteria, and testing of antimicrobial resistance. The
information included is intended to lead to harmonization of microbiological
investigations and susceptibility testing, and to improve the quality of
laboratories at both central and intermediate levels.
