Posted on by

The Library has added a new clinical microbiology database called ClinMicroNow. This resource combines the content of the American Society for Microbiology’s Manual of Clinical Microbiology (MCM), the Clinical Microbiology Procedures Handbook (CMPH), and Cases in Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. MSK’s Esther Babady, Ph.D., D(ABMM), FIDSA is a member of the interdisciplinary team of editors and authors that created ClinMicroNow.

ClinMicroNow offers searches to find the complete range of pathogenic microbial organisms and related laboratory procedures. The clinical microbiology content is continuously updated by peer-selected authors, subject matter experts, and editors.

This resource is also searchable in our Database A-Z list. The Department of Laboratory Medicine has provided financial support for this resource.
