Abstract

The Manual of Clinical Microbiology (MCM) is the most authoritative reference text in the field of clinical micro- biology. This edition of the Manual benefited from the tal- ents of a team of 22 editors and almost 250 authors who were supported by a very capable production team at ASM Press. This, the 11th edition, is presented after the usual 4-year publication cycle following the 10th edition. All of the editorial team are proud members of the American Society for Microbiology and strong supporters of its book publishing arm, ASM Press. We have followed in the footsteps of previous authors and editors of the Manual
