This book aims to foster greater communication between clinical physicians and pathologists-clinical microbiologists, and generally people working in healthcare environments. Only through their harmonious collaboration can Medicine respond to the significant challenge posed by the continuously renewing and evolving spectrum of infections, as well as the new data regarding the interaction between microbes and humans.

The innovation in this edition is the division of the book into two volumes, where at the end of the first and second volumes, multiple-choice questions are provided that exercise the assimilation of knowledge and confirm the understanding of the texts.

In Volume A titled "MICROBES AND HUMANS - Introduction to the world of microbes," there are three parts, and in Volume B titled "MICROBES AND HUMANS - Types of microbes and diseases," there are two parts.

This book is intended for everyone and is designed "for every household." The content is presented in a popularized form to ensure easy understanding, while maintaining scientific validity in terms of structure and information, so it can also be used by specialists in the Health Sciences field as a simple and concise manual of Medical Microbiology and, more generally, Public Health Microbiology.
