Book excerpt: This manual covers all groups of fungi and fungus-like organisms and includes over 500 diagrams and line drawings. Descriptions of major groups (phylogenetic and artificial), simplified keys to family, and an illustrated glossary enable placement of common fungi into the appropriate taxonomic category. Text and glossary are coordinated to introduce fundamentals of mycological terminology. Over 30 pages of references are provided for literature on identification of cultures and specimens, and references are also given for contemporary phylogenetic research on each major taxonomic group.

Download or read book Identification of Pathogenic Fungi written by Colin K. Campbell. This book was released on 2013-01-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first edition of Identification of Pathogenic Fungi, there has been incredible progress in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of fungal diseases: new methods of diagnosis have been introduced, and new antifungal agents have been licensed for use. However, these developments have been offset by the emergence of resistance to several classes of drugs, and an increase in infections caused by fungi with innate resistance to one or more classes. Identification of Pathogenic Fungi, Second Edition, assists in the identification of over 100 of the most significant organisms of medical importance. Each chapter is arranged so that the descriptions for similar organisms may be found on adjacent pages. Differential diagnosis details are given for each organism on the basis of both colonial appearance and microscopic characteristics for the organisms described. In this fully updated second edition, a new chapter on the identification of fungi in histopathological sections and smears has been added, while colour illustrations of cultures and microscopic structures have been included, and high quality, four colour digital images are incorporated throughout.

Download or read book Identifying Fungi written by Guy St-Germain. This book was released on 2011-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diseases caused by fungi have become a significant medical problem and are increasing at an alarming rate. The number of fungal species reported to cause disease is greater than ever some of these species had previously been considered harmless. The increase in the number of patients that are not immuno-competent, along with greater awareness and appreciation of opportunistic fungal infections, have highlighted the importance of accurate identification of fungi. This full-color handbook makes it possible to identify medically important fungi with ease and confidence. Whether the specimen is a common or unusual fungi, the authors take the mystery and difficulty out of identification. A greatly expanded, completely revised and updated edition based upon the highly acclaimed first edition (Identifying Filamentous Fungi). Now including more fungi, including yeasts, new tables, more color photographs, an expanded glossary, more descriptions. Includes two keys: a unique color-coded key you match the colors to those on colony surface, and a comprehensive dichotomous key. Additionally, accurate color photographs of each colony are provided along with precise photomicrographs and drawings to guide your own microscopic observations. The format of the book is designed to facilitate accurate, easier identification. The author provide careful explanations of fungal identification techniques, stains, and media; useful for experienced laboratory personnel and scientists but also invaluable for those learning medical mycology. No other book has such extensive color photography and these unique identification keys.

Book excerpt: Fungi enjoy great popularity in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and biotechnological applications. Recent advances in the decipherment of whole fungal genomes promise an acceleration of these trends. This timely book links scientists from different parts of the world who are interested in the molecular identification of fungi combined with the exploration of the fungal biodiversity in different ecosystems. It provides a compendium for scientists who rely on a rapid and reliable detection of fungal specimens in environmental as well as clinical resources in order to ensure the benefit of industrial and clinical applications. Chapters focus on the opportunities and limits of the molecular marker-mediated identification of fungi. Various methods, procedures and strategies are outlined. Furthermore, the book offers an update of the current progress in the development of fungal molecular techniques, and draws attention to potential and associated problems, as well as integrating theory and practice.
