"If you perform clinical microbiology testing, you have to have this. Get it, preferably in the editable version to make your life easier and to ensure your laboratory performs at evidence-based, best practice levels."

Audience

The book is intended for those "engaged in microbial analysis of clinical specimens," which is primarily clinical laboratory scientists. Laboratory medicine practitioners and infectious disease practitioners, whether students, residents, fellows, or in practice, also would find it valuable. It might be useful to others -- e.g., nurses, other advanced practice practitioners, allied health providers, etc. -- if detail-oriented.
