The most common fungal species are described, including members of the yeasts, mucoromycetes, conidial moulds, dimorphic pathogens, and dermatophytes. The book features:
updates to taxonomy and fungal names
more than 400 color photographs
antifungal susceptibility profiles, including for new drugs where available
methods of identification including molecular and/or MALDI-ToF mass spectroscopy
