"In the previous edition, we added chapter summaries and learning aids in the beginning of each of the microbe chapters, and on the e-version these are keyed to the appropriate sections in the chapter. In the e-version of the ninth edition, we added an infectious disease chapter that lists the microbes by organ system and disease with hyperlinks to the appropriate chapter in the text. This will facilitate access to the microbes for those in organ-system or disease/case-based curricula."

"In preparing this edition we have brought both the emerging problems and the potential technological solutions into focus at a level suitable for both students and specialist trainees concerned with infection. Sections dealing with molecular methods and developments in antimicrobial stewardship illustrate how we have combined the foundations of our subject with the leading edges of technology and clinical practice."

"Overall, this edition benefits from significant revision in multiple areas. The introductory chapters continue to present fundamental principles of infectious agents and host defences but now include the newly recognized importance of the human microbiota. Subsequent chapters present an updated overview of the general principles behind the infectious agent – immune response conflict, followed by a chapter-specific consideration of system-oriented conflict scenarios. Final chapters provide a revised consideration of issues affecting diagnosis and control of the conflict especially centring on newer molecular (especially DNA-sequence-based) approaches."
