Nejat Düzgünes , PhD , currently Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of the Pacific Arthur A . Dugoni School of Dentistry decided to write this book entitled Medical Microbiology and Immunology for Dentistry specifically addressed to dentists , because all medical microbiology textbooks are generally much too detailed for training purposes . This textbook has five parts and 41 chapters . The first part is dedicated to Immunology and presents the immune system , antibodies and complement , immune response and vaccines . The second part is about Bacteria , and talks about bacterial structure , metabolism , and genetics , bacterial pathogenesis , antibacterial chemotherapy , sterilization , disinfection , and antisepsis , microbial identification and molecular diagnostics and illustrates a lot of bacterial types . Oral microbiology is covered in two major chapters : Oral Microflora and Caries , and Periodontal and Endodontic Infections . A discussion about Fungi , fungal structure , replication , and pathogenesis , fungal diseases and antifungal chemotherapy is the content of part three . The last two parts present Viruses , Prions and Parasites along fourteen chapters . Most of the conditions treated by dentists are the result of bacterial infection and understanding the microbiology of these diseases is essential for their treatment . Through complete information on microbiology and immunology , this book is a quintessence of specialty literature and a therapeutic guide useful in each dentist ’ s daily practice .
