This book is a result of continued demand of students of undergraduate and post-graduate courses of paramedical, medical and basic microbiology. The existing lacuna in the areas of diagnostics and therapeutic bacteriology has been tried to be done away with through this text. This book shall quench the thirst for knowledge of the students of biomedical sciences, microbiology, biotechnology, nursing, physiotherapy, dental and other allied courses. The book comprehensively covers the aspects on basic mechanisms of Life cycle, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, immunity and structural aspects of bacterial diversities.
