This updated edition includes new and revised descriptions and he authors have reconciled current morphological descriptions and name changes with more recent genetic data. The most common fungal species are described, including members of the yeasts, mucoromycetes, conidial moulds, dimorphic pathogens, and dermatophytes. The book features: updates to taxonomy and fungal names.more than 350 colour photographs. antifungal susceptibility profiles, including for new drugs where available.methods of identification including molecular and/or MALDI-ToF mass spectroscopy.This handy reference is essential for laboratory staff and clinicians dealing with the identification and management of human and animal fungal infections, researchers in medical microbiology and mycology laboratories.
