**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Microbiology**

MIMS' Medical Microbiology and Immunology, Seventh Edition is loved internationally for its thorough yet easy-to-follow coverage of microbiology, infectious diseases, and immunology as a dynamic interplay between microbes and host. Covering the fundamentals of these closely linked disciplines, MIMS' takes a systems approach to elaborate on epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and diagnostic approaches, as well as treatment and infection control considerations, supplemented by case-based examples. Complex scientific and clinical concepts are explained clearly and simply with the help of illustrations and a range of accompanying online content. Students will come away with a deep understanding of topics and processes, and will return to this book for reference time and again.

Clear writing and easy-to-understand explanations - perfect for students learning to grasp the fundamentals of both microbiology and immunology
User-friendly format with colour coding, key concept boxes, and dynamic illustrations for easy navigation
Organised by body system - goes beyond the 'bug parade' to help you understand clinical context
Pathogen Parade (electronic supplement) - a quick cross-referenced glossary of viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi
Vaccine Parade (electronic supplement) - quick-reference coverage of the most commonly used vaccines in current clinical practice
Clinical cases and multiple-choice self-assessments (electronic supplement) support learning
