Within the field of infectious diseases, medical mycology has experienced significant growth over the last decade. Invasive fungal infections have been increasing in many patient populations, including: those with AIDS; transplant recipients; and the elderly. As these populations grow, so does the diversity of fungal pathogens. Paralleling this development, there have been recent launches of several new antifungal drugs and therapies. Clinical Mycology offers a comprehensive review of this discipline. Organized by types of fungi, this volume covers microbiologic, epidemiologic and demographic aspects of fungal infections as well as diagnostic, clinical, therapeutic, and preventive approaches. Special patient populations are also detailed.

Each of the seven modules includes prerequisites, content outline, objectives, follow-up activities, references, and self-study examinations Teaches proper laboratory practice and presents the biology and physiology of fungi, describing the epidemiology of fungal infections, defining fungal disease states, and emphasizing laboratory identification of fungi based on body sites Test protocols and reagent recipes are highlighted in each module Information about AIDS and immunocompromised patients has been added to the pertinent disease descriptions, following the discussion of causative organisms Module 2 includes common techniques for fungal culture preservation, DNA testing for rapid identification, and antifungal therapeutics

Mycology is the branch of biology that is concerned with the study of fungi, their genetic and biochemical properties, their taxonomy and applications for human use. Fungi can be both harmful and beneficial to humans. Fungi produce antibiotics, toxins and secondary metabolites. They can cause toxicity or infection, but they can also be a source of tinder, food, medicine and entheogens. Many species of mushrooms are cultivated for food, such as button mushrooms, Portobello mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and shiitakes, besides many others. Penicillin, lovastatin, griseofulvin, etc. are some drugs produced using fungi. Many varieties of fungi are used for the industrial production of vitamins, antibiotics and cholesterol-lowering drugs. Fungi can also be useful in suppressing plant pathogens like weeds, insects, mites, etc. in agriculture. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of mycology. It aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of this field. This textbook is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.

Updated and revised to accurately reflect what is currently known about the biology of fungi. The primary thrust of the book is morphology-taxonomy, but also includes interesting and important activities of fungi.

Completely rewritten and updated in accordance with modern taxonomic proposals, providing a well documented, logical, and clear explanation of the structure and classification of fungi and their importance in human affairs . . . with an introduction to physiological, biochemical, genetic, and ecological data. Reviews all major groups of fungi (including slime molds), with a summary characterization of all major taxa. Discusses the Fungi Imperfecti (Deuteromycetes)—correlating the Saccardoan and conidiogenesis systems and clarifying the dual system of nomenclature of the Ascomycetes and their imperfect stages; expands discussions of human pathogens, Laboulbeniomycetes, Lichens, and the Pyrenomycetes (on the basis of centrum structure). Also includes short discussions of such topics as ``truffle orchards,'' the mushroom industry, and edible, poisonous, and hallucinogenic mushrooms. Life-cycle diagrams have been revised and updated, with a number of scanning and transmission electron micrographs now contained. References are increased, and derivations of technical terms are provided.

Medical Mycology and Human Mycoses...

Upon its publication in 1957 A Glossary of Mycology was acclaimed by scientific and medical journals throughout the United States and Britain. The International Record of Medicine called it "a valuable reference book for every mycologist." Antibiotics and Chemotherapy recommended it as essential for all scientific libraries. The Bryologist said, "The authors are to be congratulated upon the wealth of information . . . the book is highly recommended in every respect." Nearly 7000 terms--technical terms and their derivations; common or popular, vernacular, and obsolete terms; terms used in the field of medical mycology and antibiotics; names of the originators of terms; folklore terms; and color terms--were covered by the original edition. Also included were terms which, though not strictly mycological, occur frequently in literature of particular interest to mycologists. This revision brings the work up to date with the considerable developments in the field since its first publication. Nearly 350 terms have been added, and new definitions for many of the original terms supplied. Excellent diagrammatic line drawings by Henry A. C. Jackson illustrate 191 of the terms.

Interwoven with short essays on the lessons of the fungi, Radical Mycology begins with chapters that explore the uniqueness of fungal biology, the critical ecological roles of micro and macro fungi, skills for accurately identifying mushrooms and mycorrhizal fungi, the importance of lichens as indicators of environmental health, and the profound influences that fungi have held on the evolution of all life and human cultures. With this foundation laid, the reader is then equipped to work with the fungi directly. Techniques for making potent fungal medicines, growing fermenting fungi for food, and cheaply cultivating mushrooms using recycled tools (and yet still achieving lab-quality results) are explored in-depth. Subsequent chapters grow far beyond the limits of other books on mushrooms. Detailed information on the principles and practices of what McCoy calls "regenerative natural mushroom farming" is presented along with extensive information on cultivating mycorrhizal fungi and the science of mycoremediation (the application of fungi to mitigate pollution in our homes and environment). Concluding the book are deeper insights into the cultural effects that fungi present, from a philosophical reflection of fungal growth in the design of human societies, to an exhaustive examination of the history of psychoactive mushrooms.

A taxonomic outline of the taxa is provided to help those unfamiliar with the grouping of any particular genus. This substantial volume also includes several broader biological terms encountered in mycological literature.

Medical Mycology has been written on the recommendations of many teachers of microbiology. It is divided into seven sections. The text is presented in a simple and lucid manner. It is illustrated with coloured and computer-drawn figures, and clinical and photomicrographs. These make the book colourful and the readers can have a better understanding of the biology of the fungi. Essay-type questions and MCQs have been given at the end of each chapter. The book is user-friendly and easy to understand.

This text implements theory with practical methods for the laboratory identification of medically important fungi. Individual chapters are devoted to specific fungi and include an in-depth discussion in terms of unique risk factors, human infection, specimen sources, special precautions and much more. Useful as a reference for laboratory personnel who need to quickly and accurately identify fungi in clinical specimens! Multiple illustrations of each fungus, including detailed line drawings and photomicrographs, depict typical and atypical examples with explanations of identifying features.

This is a work on the role of fungi in processed and unprocessed foods. In addition to offering practical and applied information on fungi associated with food and beverages this second edition now covers poisonous mushrooms. Topics include water activity, specific commodities, fungi and metabolities as human dietary components, health hazards and mycotoxin producers, and mycotoxin and fungal contaminant detection.
