This book is II part of Fundamentals of Medical Microbiology Volume I.In this book we will discuss about parasite host relationship, methods of identification of bacteria,immunity etc. As we discuss in part I, Medical Microbiology is the study of the causes and management of infectious diseases. These can be caused by viruses, bacteria, micro fungi and protozoa. Medical Microbiology may overlap with parasitology,generally considered to be the study of diseases caused by multicellular parasites.The classification and identification of organisms are two separate but inter-related processes.
