Veterinary Microbiology: Bacterial and Fungal Agents
Author: Pankaj Seth & Bandhanu Oraon
Veterinary Microbiology: Bacterial and Fungal Agents is a comprehensive reference that delves into the complex world of microorganisms affecting animal health. The book meticulously covers the taxonomy, morphology, pathogenesis, and clinical significance of major bacterial and fungal pathogens in veterinary medicine. It emphasizes diagnostic techniques, antimicrobial susceptibility, and emerging trends in infectious diseases, making it an invaluable resource for veterinarians, microbiologists, and students. The detailed illustrations, case studies, and updated scientific insights help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in clinical settings.
The text also addresses host–pathogen interactions, mechanisms of disease, and preventive strategies, including vaccination and biosecurity measures. Each chapter is structured to provide a clear understanding of how microbial agents cause disease, how they are identified in the laboratory, and how they can be controlled in animal populations. This holistic approach makes it particularly useful for professionals involved in animal health, research, and public health, fostering a deeper understanding of zoonotic risks and antimicrobial stewardship.
This book primarily targets veterinary students, practicing veterinarians, microbiologists, and researchers interested in animal infectious diseases. It is also useful for academicians and diagnostic laboratory personnel who require a detailed understanding of bacterial and fungal pathogens.
