Textbook of Microbiology 2nd Edition for Dental Students by D. R. Arora

The second edition of Textbook of Microbiology for Dental Students has been thoroughly revised. The text presented is in a simple and lucid manner. Old figures have been replaced with coloured computer-drawn figures, and photomicrographs and new figures have been added. Each chapter ends with key facts and important questions. Key facts summarize the whole chapter and help the students for last minute revision for theory, practical and viva voce examinations. All microorganisms relevant to dentistry have been discussed. Emphasis has been given on oral manifestations of each microorganism. In the chapter on hepatitis viruses, emphasis has been made on various hepatitis viruses and dentistry. 1 Microbiology (A Brief History) 2 Morphology of Bacteria 3 Growth and Nutrition, and Classification of Bacteria 4 Sterilisation and Disinfection 5 Chemotherapy 6 Bacterial Genetics 7 Bacteria in Health and Disease 8 Immunity 9 Antigen and Antibody 10 The Complement System 11 Antigen-Antibody Reactions 12 Architecture of the Immune System 13 Immune Response 14 Hypersensitivity and Autoimmunity 15 Staphylococcus 16 Streptococcus 17 Streptococcus Pneumoniae (Pneumococcus) 18 Neisseria 19 Corynebactenum. 20 Clostridium 21 Mycobacterium 22 Nonsporing anaerobes . 23 Spirochaetes 24 Enterobacteriaceae: Escherichia, Klebsiella, Proteus, Morganella and Providencia 25 Shigella 26 Salmonella 27 Yersinia 28 Vibrio, Aeromonas and Plesiomonas 29 Campylobacter, Helicobacter, Spirillum, Mobiluncus, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia and Legionella 30 Haemophilus and Bordetella 31 Brucella 32 Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma 33 Rickettsiaceae 34 Chlamydia 35 Actinomycetes 36 Miscellaneous Bacteria 37 General Properties of Viruses and Virus-Host Interactions 38 DNA Viruses 39 RNA Viruses 40 Hepatitis Viruses 41 Medical Mycology 42 Medical Parasitology 43 Oral Microbiology 44 Infective Syndromes 45 Hospital-Associated Infections.
