The Best of the Best! Gary W. Procop, MD To my husband Gord and family for all their support Deirdre L. Church, MD, PhD Thanks for the support of my husband Geraldine S. Hall, PhD To my parents, Robert and Geraldine, my brothers, Robert and Martin, and to Matthew, my life partner. William M. Janda, PhD In recognition of the ongoing hard work and dedication of microbiology technologists Elmer W. Koneman, MD I thank my wife Ann for her immense support and patience during the prolonged writing phase of this work and for her 45-plus years of steadfast love and encouragement. I also thank my son Adam for his creation of the Web ID Program used for identification of bacteria, which is described in detail in Chapters 6 and 7 of this text. Paul C. Schreckenberger, PhD In loving memory of my father Gail L. Woods, MD Foreword viii ix T he diagnostic process for infectious diseases is complex. An astute clinician may be able to make a clinical diagnosis based on the history, presenting features, physical examination, and epidemiologic exposures, including relevant travel. For example, pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis albeit with radiographic confirmation. Establishing an etiologic diagnosis may be much more difficult and is dependent on obtaining a relevant specimen of interpretable quality, swift reliable transport, and the testing repertoire of the supporting clinical microbiology laboratory. Moreover, presenting features of different causative agents often overlap and an infectious process may involve multiple organ systems, thereby adding further complexity to the task of establishing an etiologic diagnosis on which specific antimicrobial therapy depends. Indeed without an accurate and timely etiologic diagnosis, empirical treatment ensues or is prolonged, which may consist of multiple antimicrobial agents, those with unnecessarily broad activity, or both. This increases the risk of adverse drug reactions, alters the patient’s microbiome, and promotes selection of resistant mutants that indirectly put other patients at risk. Such collateral damage emphasizes only the need for rapid and accurate tests wisely deployed for the optimal outcome of patient care. Thus, the founding objective of Koneman’s Color Atlas and Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology was to provide a clear exposition of procedures routinely employed in the laboratory identification of microbial agents causing infectious diseases. Since its first edition in 1979, the recognition and emergence of new infectious agents; better tools for their microbiologic diagnosis; more immunocompromised patients due to organ and stem cell transplantation, chemotherapy of malignancies, and immune-modulating agents; and a changing environment both of care and exposures have vastly complicated the quest for an etiologic diagnosis. These transformative developments have only accelerated since the sixth edition in 2006. Fortunately, the tools available for the challenges at hand have also expanded
