References Q. What is the best reference source for clinical microbiology?
A. The most complete and easy to use reference text on the market, we believe, is Color Atlas and Text of Diagnostic Microbiology, by Koneman (Cat. no. 730147). Another good one to have is Bailey and Scott’s Diagnostic Microbiology, by Finegold, Baron and Peterson (Cat. no. 3030653). It contains step by step procedures and a wealth of practical information on infectious diseases, with many color photographs. ASM’s Manual of Clinical Microbiology, 9th ed. (Cat. no. 5813710, hardcover) is another valuable source of information.
