  We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature within a
Polyakov-loop enhanced quark-meson model. Such a model describes the chiral as
well as the confinement-deconfinement dynamics. In the present investigation,
based on the approach and results put forward in [1-4], both, matter as well as
glue fluctuations are included. We present results for the order parameters as
well as some thermodynamic observables and find very good agreement with recent
results from lattice QCD.
