Atlas of Clinical Fungi, CD-ROM (CD-ROM, 2nd)

This lavishly illustrated atlas sets the standard for innovative techniques in medical mycology. It illustrates the diversity of fungal agents and provides ample molecular data for the majority of clinically relevant fungi. In addition, antifungal susceptibility data is given for most species, providing essential knowledge for the clinician. Numerous emerging opportunistic species are covered, in-cluding recently described agents of brain infection such as Ramichloridium mackenziei and Cladophilophora modesta, as well as several Trichoderma species. Molecular data include rDNA SSU restriction maps for genera and rDNA ITS restriction maps for species. Phylogenetic overviews of the fungal Kingdom in general, and many important groups in detail, are, also provided. This comprehensive volume also offers a list of doubtful names and insufficiently proven cases and references more than 3,400 fungal names that have appeared in the medical literature.
