根据教育部的要求,为了提高我国高等学校英语教学水平,促进国际学术交流,我们编写了这本英文版医学微生物学教材,作为高等医学院校双语教学或全英文教学的参考用书。我们仅选取了教学中要求掌握的**内容,以美国麦格劳一希尔出版(Appleton & Lange McGraw—Hill.)所出版并授权的Jawetz ,Melnick & Adelberg’s.Medical Microbiology(第24版,2007年出版)作为主要的参考书进行了改编。所编写的内容分为三篇,即细菌学、病毒学和真菌学。限于篇幅,仅**介绍了有关病原的主要生物学特性、致病性及其检测方法。
参加编写的人员,均为教学和科研**线的教授,他们都具有丰富的教学经验,为本书的编写尽心尽力。在此对所有编者表示谢意。本教材不仅适用于五年制、七年制、八年制各个专业的医学生及留学生,也可供研究生、教师及临床工作者作为参考。
