Assisted Reproduction Treatment (ART) is susceptible to the hazard
of potential infection from many different sources: patients,
samples, staff, and the environment. This practical book presents a
basic overview of microbiology in the context of ART, and also
constitutes an up-to-date guide to infections in reproductive
medicine. The relevant facets of the complex and vast field of
microbiology are condensed and focused, highlighting information
that is crucial for safe practice in both clinical and laboratory
aspects of ART.
