The ESCMID-SFM Manual of Microbiology is a jointly produced hard-copy publication by ESCMID and SFM. In 2010 a popular French Manual of Microbiology was published by SFM. The new manual is based upon the original French manual, but is updated and adapted for Europe. There are 40 chapters covering all areas of clinical microbiology. The launch of the Manual is planned at the ECCMID 2012 in London.
The cost for individual copies is EUR 50.
