Schaechter's Mechanisms of Microbial Disease provides students with a
thorough understanding of microbial agents and the pathophysiology of
microbial diseases. The text is universally praised for "telling the
story of a pathogen" in an engaging way, facilitating learning and
recall by emphasizing unifying principles and paradigms, rather than
forcing students to memorize isolated facts by rote. The table of
contents is uniquely organized by microbial class and by organ system,
making it equally at home in traditional and systems-based curricula.
Case studies with problem-solving questions give students insight into
clinical applications of microbiology, which is ideal for problem-based
learning.
