Summary
Microbial and host cellular biology and interactions dictate the breadth of clinical infection practice, from colonisation to invasion to infection. Understanding the classifications used for bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites aids clinical and laboratory diagnosis and ultimately patient management. Understanding the common host responses to infective agents at the cellular level enables appropriate clinical management both with direct acting anti-infectives and other supportive therapy.
