This site was built in February 2000. It is based on a chapter which will appear in the 4th edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine: Oxford University Press.

To find concise information on bacteria of possible medical importance go to the Index of generic names: the names listed are linked to summary pages of information. Pages will be revised as new information (e.g. changes in nomenclature, newly recognised pathogens, susceptibility data) becomes available.

This site is for private study only. The text is owned by Oxford University Press.

Please email me if you have information which you would like me to consider for inclusion.
