Topley and Wilson’s Microbiology and Microbial Infections, 8 Volume Set, 10th Edition

Book Description
Since its first publication in 1929, Topley & Wilson’s Microbiology & Microbial Infections has grown from one to eight volumes, a reflection of the ever-increasing breadth and depth of knowledge in each of the areas covered. The tenth edition continues the tradition of providing the most comprehensive available reference on microorganisms and related infectious diseases. The new edition of Topley & Wilson’s Microbiology & Microbial Infections is an essential addition to the bookshelves of medical microbiologists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists and public health professionals, as well as being a standard reference for specialists within the pharmaceutical industry, trainees across the medical sub-specialities, and laboratory technicians.
The 10th edition features:
  • the latest information on epidemiology, identification, classification, and new and emerging infections, all supported by the basic science that underlies infectious disease
  • each volume includes the best writing in the fields of Bacteriology, Virology, Medical Mycology, Parasitology, and Immunology  
  • a new Immunology volume – both a complement to the other titles, and an excellent reference work for every immunologist
  • fully integrated colour for the first time – the text is supported by over 1,400 photographs and 700 line drawings
  • an international, acclaimed editorial team and a highly respected group of over 400 contributors, drawing on best practice from over 20 countries
  • a comprehensive cumulative index
The 10th edition of Topley & Wilson’s Microbiology & Microbial Infections is an essential addition to the bookshelves of medical microbiologists, immunologists, infectious disease specialists, pathologists, travel and tropical medicine specialists, and public health scientists; and will also be a standard reference for all those working in the pharmaceutical industry, trainees across the medical subspecialties, and laboratory technicians. The breadth of information available in the tenth edition is astonishing, and will support academic and clinical practice for many years to come.

Overview of the Fungal Cell Structure


Fungi are unicellular or multicellular thick-cell-walled heterotroph decomposers that eat decaying matter and make tangles of filaments.

KEY POINTS

Fungal cell walls are rigid and contain complex polysaccharides called chitin (adds structural strength) and glucans.

Ergosterol is the steroid molecule in the cell membranes that replaces the cholesterol found in animal cell membranes.

Fungi can be unicellular, multicellular, or dimorphic, which is when the fungi is unicellular or multicellular depending on environmental conditions.

Fungi in the morphological vegetative stage consist of a tangle of slender, thread-like hyphae, whereas the reproductive stage is usually more obvious.

Fungi like to be in a moist and slightly acidic environment; they can grow with or without light or oxygen.

Fungi are saprophyte heterotrophs in that they use dead or decomposing organic matter as a source of carbon.

TERMS

chitin
a complex polysaccharide, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, found in the exoskeletons of arthropods and in the cell walls of fungi; thought to be responsible for some forms of asthma in humans

glucan
any polysaccharide that is a polymer of glucose

ergosterol
the functional equivalent of cholesterol found in cell membranes of fungi and some protists, as well as, the steroid precursor of vitamin D2

septum
cell wall division between hyphae of a fungus

mycelium
the vegetative part of any fungus, consisting of a mass of branching, threadlike hyphae, often underground

hypha
a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus that is the main mode of vegetative growth

thallus
vegetative body of a fungus

saprophyte
any organism that lives on dead organic matter, as certain fungi and bacteria
